GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 357837
messages are marked as read before they can be read

That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/47209 "Binary package hint: evolution when a gpg signed message is being verified, the message is not readable. However the automatic 'mark as read' function seems to take place immediately, even though the message is not yet readable. The timer for that should only count from when the message is fully rendered to read, not from when the cursor lands on the message."
