Background:
I am not confortable with preview/reading pane and want to open the message
and read it. However I want to keep it "unread" till I "process" it i.e.,
take action if any. I don't want to right-click and mark it as unread every
time. I want to mark as "read" only after I process it.
Since the number of incoming mails is too much and not all can be processed
immediately, it will be really helpful to have this feature.
