[MlMt] Unread filter: affect on smart mailboxes?

Hi All,

I have what I think is unexpected behavior, but could be intended function. Hopefully you all can help!

I have a smart mailbox (call it Mailbox A) that has a rule to not show messages from another smart mailbox (Mailbox B). However, if I filter Mailbox B to only show unread, the read messages from B show up in A.

So is the “unread view” of a smart mailbox the equivalent of adding that as a rule? That would explain the behavior, though is a little counterintuitive when thinking about “unread” as a temporary state.

To be clear, I’m temporarily showing only unread messages with a key binding that triggers the “toggleFilterKey” of “unread”, which is feature Benny posted somewhere along the way.
