Why does Thunderbird 3 mark deleted email messages as read? That seems to me to be totally unnecessary and illogical. Is there any way to prevent that? If I delete a message that is unread, why should its status change as far as reading is concerned?

There are many crazy things about 3.0, and I try to not let it bother me. I, generally, delete a message, and, then compact the folders, so it is irrelevant if the message is mark read or not.
Since it is a message by message situation you should be able to select Message|Mark as read. If there was a check mark, it should go away. Of course, this is of any use, only, if one moves messages back from Trash to Inbox, or whatever.
