I currently don't mark messages as read, mainly because I'm unsure how to do it. There are two possibilities and I'm not sure what would be the most appropriate.

1. Mark any incoming message as read as soon as the client receives them
2. Mark any message as ready when the user is active, if the user is idle, mark all messages as read when the user comes back

i think number 2 is correct, in all protocols in libpurple it's work like this variant.
If it's simple maybe you can make editable option to choose one of this options to mark as read.

anyway one of this variant will be better than none

I will implement it once I've got more time. Right now I'm pretty busy unfortunately.

Done, sorry that it took so long :)

• Incoming messages will be marked as read as long the user isn't "away" or "unavailable"
• once the state changes to an available state, all pending "reads" will be sent

I hope this works out. Maybe I will add an option to turn read notifications in the plugin off, in case somebody doesn't want a read notification to be sent every time when Adium runs and isn't inactive.
