40,Jump to oldest unread msg on a per folder basis,anonymous,somebody,"Beginning with version 2.3 of YAM, the message list scrolls automatically to the oldest unread message whenever a folder is opened.

While this is a good idea for some folders (like incoming, or any folder where I keep current on all messages), for others it is not. I follow a number of mailing lists in which I read messages only sporadically, and I keep several months of messages online. With such groups, it takes an extra couple of seconds to open the folder because of scanning for read/unread messages, and then I have to manually scroll back to the current messages to see what's new. I don't want to manually mark all messages as read, because it's an extra step and because it is useful for me to know which old messages I've looked at and which I haven't.

Could this process of scanning for the oldest unread message upon opening a folder be made optional on a folder-by-folder basis? That would give us all the best of both worlds.
