Didn't think about the CTRL+A, I will start doing that, but it would still be nice to have at least the typical "mark all read" button.

As for the other, yep that was a typo, you have it correct in your post.

New thoughts, is there a common bug/feature tracker that you have going public so we can see what all is being asked for and vote on it?
Also is there a work in progress list so we can see what to expect in the next release of the product?

Thanks
