wish: clear the * without opening folder

I finish reading a long message and then move it to a different 
folder, which contains nothing else new.  That folder's name now is 
marked with *[xyz] meaning it has received a new message since I last 
opened the folder.  Yes yes yes: it's the message I moved to there 
just now.

The only way to clear the star is to open the folder, which takes 
quite a while because it's a big folder.  Tiresome.

Feature request:  a keystroke to clear the flag without bothering to 
open the folder.

If any seconders, I'll copy to R-Comp.


Similar wish:  When sending a new message, the "File in" location 
should not gain a star flag just because my file copy of my own 
message has landed there.  It's not really a new message; I obviously 
read it already.
   (Details:  In the "Edit email" dialogue, the default location for 
"File in" is normally the "Sent mail" or "Sent news" folder.  But for 
some correspondents, it's handy to store my incoming and outgoing 
messages in the same folder so I can use threading.  This is the 
situation where I could do without the dysfunctional star flag.)
