Right-click context menu in Thunderbird [Read/UnRead]

[LEHenryJr]

Guys,
When reading messages in Thunderbird, I understand it has it's toggle
options in the context menu [when you right-click], but can you simply
add a option in the menu for both options [Mark as Read or Mark as UnRead]?

The option in Thunderbird is kinda like the start button in windows;
pressing Start to 'logout' is not the politically correct.

Is there an extension or a modification that can be made to Thunderbird
to make this a little more clear?

I hope I have explained this well enough.

thank you in advance

In the context menu

If the message is marked read (as it usually is)
Then

<right click> Mark-->V As Read (thats a checkmark there not a V)
indicating that the message is already marked read
selecting it again, will mark the message unread

If the message is marked unread then

<right click> Mark-->As Read appears (no checkmark)

There are other means of accomplishing the same task as well
Using the Mark button in the toolbar is the same toggle
(if read, mark makes it unread)
Or you can use the keyboard shortcut M
as well, this is a toggle, using it on a read message will make it unread.

Suggestion.
Use the M key (or the Mark button) when you what to mark a message
unread. In this means, you become accustomed to it and it becomes the
UNmark key or button in essence. Simpler than the right click menu
selection as well

BTW "j" toggles "junk" the same way.
