Nope.  At the top left of the message pane, there is a button in which 
the word "All" appears.  You click the arrow to the right of "All," and 
you get choices of which messages to view.  I pick "Unread," and all the 
read messages disappear.  I want that box at the top left of the message 
pane to remember my choice.

Any way to do that?
