[MlMt] Marking messages as read on open; Mailing Lists smart folder

[Robert Brenstein]

Re 1. The automatic mailing list recognition is not reliable enough. I 
tried getting it to work but then opted to just create a manual setup: a 
smart mailbox for each mailing list and an encompassing smart mailbox 
that shows all lists together. A bit of work if you have many lists but 
100% reliability (among my lists, I had to use different criteria to 
identify mails from various lists — because of different mailing 
software and different list setups).

Re 2. I concur with the suggestion from Sherif. That works well. I 
further set the mark messages read after 1 second, so I can peek at the 
msg and close it right away without it being marked as read.
