I have made that suggestion, though I doubt I'm the only one to have
done so. You've other options to deal with things once you're done, as
well:
* Use the hide read messages function. It'll hide what's been
marked as read, now. As you progress through the list, messages
you've read aren't hidden *as* you read them (that's a major
pain, and I've another client that did that, making it very
difficult to refer back to another post).
* Delete the trash more often (manually or automatically).
* Expunge the folder you're reading.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
