When I open a message in the conversation pane, I am expecting that message to be marked as read in the message list. But it doesn't happen so.

Thunderbird version: 7.0.1
Conversation version: 2.1.1

*How to reproduce*: Go to a mail chain. Click on a message that is already marked as read in the message list. Now in the conversations list open any unread mails in this conversations list.

*Expected output*: The message opened will be marked as read in the message list.

*Actual output*: The message is still maintained as unread in the message list. Only on clicking on the message list, the message is marked as read. Clicking on conversations list has no effect to the read status of message.

I did a basic search to see whether this is already reported. I couldn't find any reported defects but I saw couple of people complaining the same issue in the reviews for this addon. Apologies if this is an already reported issue.
