opening attachment marks message as read

[JohnDoh]

Hi,

If you open an attachment, say a PDF, something in the RC attachment viewer it automatically marks the message as read. Steps to recreate…

1. Get a message with a PDF attached
2. View the message in the preview pane
3. Mark the message as unread
4. Open the attachment
5. Go back to the mailbox view; here the message is still marked as unread BUT refresh the page...
6. The message is actually marked as read

I think this is a bug because the user has specifically marked the message as unread and has no way to know that the system has reversed this unless they happen to reload the page.

I was playing with a possible fix and this seems to work:

-       $request = "$key FETCH $id (" . implode(' ', $peeks) . ')';
+       $request = "$key FETCH $id (FLAGS (\Seen) " . implode(' ', $peeks) . ')';

        // send request
        if (!iil_PutLine($fp, $request)) {

But I must admit I don’t know why, perhaps there is a better solution. I don’t think the system should change the status of a message on its own, especially without any notice to the user.
