There are a couple issues I noticed.

1. When a moderator replies to a mod mail message from a normal user, that normal user cannot properly mark the message as read. Note 1, the grey background will disappear when clicking the message and the "mark as unread" link does appear, nevertheless, refreshing the page shows that it was not actually marked as read. Note that the message will, however, be removed from /message/unread, though it'll still have the grey background when visiting /message/messages.
2. When marking as unread (by first clicking as read) the message does not re-appear in /message/unread.

I have a fix for #1 that will go along with an update to 299.

Regarding #2, it seems the confusion comes about due to the fact that there is no way to distinguish between a mark as read / unread event originating from modmail or usermail.
