Hmm, great suggestion, but not for my workflow. :(  I often have the 
preview window at 1/3 of the screen to peek/quickly scan emails (by 
skimming the top of the email body), and then make a call to read it, or 
I guess Outlook and Lotus Notes have spoiled me as that is default 
behaviour.. I can’t see to find a way to do this in MlMt so I’ve got 
to do the CMD-SHIFT-U when done.  A bit of a hassle.

(Oddly enough, I’ve played with _many_ email programs of late, and 
this “feature” is lacking in practically all of them.  All email 
programs seem to have a “Mark read after XX seconds” feature, but 
not a “Mark read on opening in separate window” feature.  Even 
Mail.app needs a 3rd party plug-in. :( )

Is there a way for someone to create a “bundle” to add this 
functionality?  Is there a bundle API?

Thanks,
