I'm sure MS would say its a "feature" just like the idiotic "feature" that it assumes I identify my friends with 10 digit phone numbers and not their name so when i want to message them I'm just going to punch in a phone number.


(probably the borg are trying to make messaging more like outlook on a pc. Where unless you actually select a message in the list it doesn't get merked as read. They seem determined to make the mobile experience as much like the desktop as possible without thinking at all that they are 2 vasty different environments and uses. idiot borg....)
