Well... yes... I've never had it do that.  Is it possible you are mixing up 
mark as read with old messages vs. new messages?  Of course, any unread 
messages still marked new will become old, when a new set of messages is 
downloaded, but that's supposed to be distinct from marking them read, and, 
from my experience, IS distinct as outlined.  (Read messages are grayed out, 
while old messages retain color, but lose their bold aspect.)

You don't mention which version you have, but that was a bug, that's just been 
fixed in the latest beta, if it's the behavior I am thinking about.  I 
haven't installed the new beta yet, but PAN has been marking all messages 
read when I view them, except for my own.  Again, that's a known bug, which 
is supposed to be fixed in the latest beta, which I'll be installing right 
after I finish with mail (I just got the announcement of the new version in 
the meil, have it d/led, but haven't installed it yet.)  If your problem is 
different, please repost with the version, and a bit more description.
