That is extactly the case I'm worried about. For me, mail should not be marked as read before it actually *is* read. > I just thought, wouldn't it be nice if there was an option to only > mark the current article as read *after* you've completed reading > it. > So, it's still automatically marked, but there is less of > a chance of you "losing" an article you haven't read > thoroughly. This would be really nice. I also thought this solution but I didn't at least found any existing hook to use. > Off the top of my head I can see that it might be difficult to > decide what constituted "read completely".

In case of last message in Group would it be enought to mark it read when you reach the end of article and get the message "No more unread acticles"? > Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or ideas on how to > implement it? So, how about adding hook which is called when end of article is reached? Well, after thinking more about this solution I don't still know would this be safe enough to use. I just don't trust myself so much... :) > Just thinking. Me too... -- Jussi.
