[MlMt] Selection and status retention in message list

[Randall Meadows]

I might be an outlier here--and if so, feel free to blow me off--butI'll toss this out just in case...

I frequently use message selection in the message list as a "bookmark" of sorts, showing the last place I was reading messages in any given mailbox, and/or leaving an unread message selected as a reminder to go back and deal with that message.  This all worked well up until (I'm assuming) Bennie's message list updates.

I've updated to v1.14 (5964) and the above scenario is no longer working.  The message list does remember which message was selected when switching back and forth between different lists.  But if I select/highlight an UNread message, that message gets marked as READ when the message list is redrawn.

I can see both ways be valid and intentional, but I really liked the previous behavior.  Bennie, can you comment on the intent behind the behavior change?  And whether we'll get the previous behavior back in a future release?


Thanks.
