I’d say almost. The _title_ of the issue implies something else: “Mark _messages_ as unread”. To implement this feature, you would have to click … on a single message and select unread, and it would reset the unread marker to that message, close the chat and mark the chat as unread. You would then have the opportunity to continue reading from **that** point on. The body of the issue did not describe this sufficiently. Should I open a separate one about this then?
