[Pan-devel] minor annoyance - messages from blocked authors still unread

[Jack]

Every now and then I'll finish reading all new articles in a group, and  
notice that the group name in the folders pane is still in bold with  
some number of unread articles in parens.  It turns out these are all  
articles by authors I have blocked.  I can clear them by explicitly  
marking the group as being read, but I wonder if it would be reasonable  
to enable a setting so that if an article is blocked based on the  
author (or any other applicable criteria) it automatically gets marked  
as read.

I figured I'd ask for opinions before just opening a new issue.

Thanks.

Jack
