I encountered the following strange bug (?). To reproduce do the 
following:
1. Go to a folder which contains new messages (which are marked in red).
2. Open the configuration dialog.
3. Either press Close or Apply.
Observation: The next unread message (from the top of the header list) 
is selected. Also if you already read some messages in this folder and 
there were open threads which after reading did't contain anymore any 
unread/new messages they are closed after closing the configuration 
dialog.

I guess this strange behaviour occurs because the folder is reopen 
after applying/closing the configuration dialog. I don't think this is 
intended. Or is it? After changing the threading options this might be 
necessary (or maybe not). But if the user only changed for example the 
font this shouldn't happen.

BTW I don't like the behaviour that automatically the first new 
message is selected if you go to a folder which contains new messages. 
IMHO it would be better to simply go to the last message the user read 
in this folder as it is done if the folder doesn't contain any new 
messages.
