That's one of my pet peeves with vm and gnus as compared to rn.  They
mark a message read when it is first exposed.  But this is simply
wrong, as I have not yet read it (for example, I might get
interrupted).  I prefer the approach of rn, where an article is marked
'read' upon leaving it with a command whose meaning is "I've read this
one, go to the next one".
