oftentimes, i start reading my mails from a search on the unread tag and
just quickly enter a message with RET and leave it again pressing
q. with the above suggestion the message would stay marked as unread,
although i saw it.

extra commands like S-SPC and S-a, to bury the buffer after skimming
through the last message in the open thread would remedy the situation
then, though.
