[sylpheed:34197] Re: Sylpheed 3.1beta3 released

[Bill Pratt]

Hello,

Please consider returning the old functionality of automatically unbolding highlighted messages. Or at least provide a user option. It is so inefficient to have to click each message individually to mark it read. When browsing, for example, the Junk folder, and clicking the delete button after a cursory glance at each message, it's tedious to then have to mark as read the messages in the Trash folder. 

Many thanks,
Bill
