The dashboard also offers a route to any of them: clicking an entry under "Waiting for you" selects that message's row, where the full set applies. +**A mixed conversation's unread toggle is a catch-all, and that is item 112 +answered rather than lost.** Item 112 split the thread toggle into two +fixed-direction actions because a union is not a state: a conversation with +some messages read and some unread has no current state to toggle from. With +the submenu gone there is one key, so the rule is: + +- Any message unread (including a mixed conversation) reads **Mark thread + read**, and marks every message read. Mixed is not a special case; it is the + ordinary one. +- A fully read conversation reads **Mark thread unread**. + +Two presses therefore reach either state from anywhere, which is what makes one +key enough. The three-valued `selectionTagPresence()` item 112 introduced is +what answers the question; only the LABEL rule changes, from "hide when the +selection disagrees" to "a mixed selection is treated as unread". + `markAllRead` is untouched. It ignores the selection by design and is thread-scoped by nature (item 108 recorded this). |
