 102 \r
 103 What I'm suggesting is no more or less automatic than the current\r
 104 behavior.  It's just a slight tweak to the order in which things\r
 105 happen: that SPC could remove the unread tag and then move to the next\r
 106 message, rather than the other way around.  In effect, the read tag\r
 107 would indicate that you've seen the bottom of the message, not just\r
 108 the top.\r
 109 \r
 110 It's also possible I would have less trouble if SPC didn't\r
 111 automatically go to the next thread.  The problem I have with the\r
 112 current behavior is that I often find myself accidentally marking\r
 113 messages as read because notmuch showed me a message I wasn't\r
 114 expecting.  This is compounded by the lack of visual feedback when\r
 115 this happens (e.g., the search results don't update to indicate that\r
 116 anything has changed, and even if they did, I probably wouldn't notice\r
 117 that the message *had* been unread).\r
