[MlMt] selecting a message marks it as read

[Shoshanna Green]

I don't use the preview pane, since I prefer to see each message in its 
own window -- but I think what must have happened was that the preview 
pane got accidentally opened to a height of like one pixel. I was 
noticing some occasional what looked like display artifacts down there, 
but I didn't think much of them and didn't make the connection until you 
mentioned the preview pane. (I tend to forget it even exists, since in 
thirty years of email I've never used one.) So it wasn't opened enough 
to actually be a visible preview, but was opened enough to count as 
"reading" the message.

Sorry for the false report, all. Carry on.
