RE: Re: Critereia to mark a message as read.

I deleted ALL my articles, Reindexed all of my groups, polled again and then
read the articles. The read flag was set. I don't know why it was not
working before but I had been doing a lot of actions, like mark all, mark
read all marked, unmark all, read, etc. but I got in a state with the flags
not shown and reading them would not make the flag come on . I also had a
state where it was something like  this 5 read messages with flag an unread
message, 5 more with the read flag. I went and read the unread flagged
message and the flag stayed off.

Don't know at all what happened here but I was doing things you would not
normally do , like a system tester might try. There are some problems here
but they are not that bad as most won't do this.

I do wish there were a better manual. Maybe if all of the help text that is
VERY GOOD BY THE WAY in the app were made into a nice document :-)

Is there any action you can set that will allow a single key read. By this I
mean that you start at the first article of the first group and you just
keep hitting that button and it goes from article to article and then to the
next group and continues until all are read. I love the way agent does that.
