[ilias]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; el; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.17 (20080914)

I choose to download only headers and mark mail as read after x seconds. I think that mail must be marked as read only if the msg body has been downloaded (or if i choose to mark it as read).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.choose to "download only headers"
2.choose "mark mail as read after x seconds"
3.click on a mail 
Actual Results:  
mail marked as read although no message body is downloaded and read

Expected Results:  
mail must be marked as read only if all of message body has already been downloaded

Not to mark mail as read if there is no mail body downloaded

sorry for late response. I no more (myself) use local mail clients.
Problem still exists on computers at work.

I think that the problem is because:
There is a message BODY (saying that you must click "here" to get message body). So thunderbird thinks that this is the message body. 

I think that is a bug the point that thunderbird does not distinguish real message body from the one generated by "himself" to declare the absence of the message body.
