I would have said that this is actually the behaviour of your browser.

The LISTSERV web interface is not a 'mail reader' per se, in the same way,
say, as Netscape Mail or Eudora.  It's simply a way of accessing the
archives of a list via HTML.  As such, your web browser is probably
marking those links you've already followed - this makes it look like
it's marking the mail you've read.

I'm guessing, but I think there's a good chance I'm right.  No? :-)

Have fun,
