When I read messages, Thunderbird no longer marks them as 'READ' I have to do so manually. How do I set it up to mark them as 'READ' automatically after opening?

The release version of Thunderbird is 78.

The Beta or developement testing version is 84 and the nightly developer build is also on 84.

So go to the help menu and select about. What channel are you on?
