There's a few of them, that don't do exactly what I would have thought
it meant, but one gets used to that...

Could be.  :)   Not something that I would worry about... :)

 NB>> if I need to check something again in a fully read echo...  :)

I guess we all have different habits in our reading/posting... :) 
That's another good reason for having a reader that is so configurable,
being able to do things the way one wants to...    I'll read a
message base, and if I don't have time to reply at the moment, or want
to read the message in more depth later, I just toggle the read/unread
flag with "*" and come back to it later...  :)  When I come back, it
jumps right to that message.  If there's more than one in an echo
(especially a large one), I'll look for subsequent ones in the listing,
using the "T" command...  :)   Works for me... :)
