unread an email until I respond to it?

[fcastagnier]

hi guys,

is it possible to automate my gmail so when I reply to an email, it will put the email as read automatically?

FYI, I'm using Preview Pane and the option for "Mark a conversation as read" is Never.

thanks

The ideas at https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/13481/search-in-gmail-how-to-search-the-mails-without-re... are not exactly what you are asking for, but are along those lines, and might be useful.

Hope that helps, at least a little,
