Thunderbird mark message as read on delay marks it as read immediately upon opening
Hello, I am essentially cross-posting from the Mozilla connect forum as the original thread is there, and that isn't really the right place. (https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/thunderbird-mark-message-as-read-on-delay-marks-it-as-read/td-p/39088)
Anyway: Ever since I've used Thunderbird (starting at version 68 or 78, don't remember), the "mark messages read after delay" setting has never been respected. All messages are marked as read immediately after opening, thus not respecting my setting of 10 seconds.

I do not mess around with tabs or new windows to read my mail, but I find the feature works correctly with the reading pane in the main window (It is not a "preview" which a lot of folk assume.
So I guess the question is you read mail by displaying it where?

I read mail in their own windows. I prefer dealing with mail in windows like the old days, and I don't really have the screen resolution to use the preview/reader/whatever pane in the main window even if I wanted to.
So, I guess this must mean that it's some bug where the setting applies only to the reader pane, and is not consulted for messages in their own windows. I cannot imagine this setting is truly intended to be ignored for mail in windows, as there's no real upside to that behaviour that I know of, and it goes against the grain of various older mail clients which have a similar "mark as read after..." setting.

Thank you for for your research. Unfortunately I don't think any of the referenced bugzilla tickets describe this problem exactly, though.
Please post your results with 115.5.2.
I apologize for the very long delay. Unfortunately it did not change anything.
