How to mark mail as read in Lotus Notes without actually opening the email

How do I mark mail as read in Lotus Notes without actually opening the email? Every other email client I have used has this option somewhere. I am using Lotus Notes 8. Thank you.

Select your email messages and under Edit -> Unread Marks -> Mark Selected Read will do it.

Under Notes 8.5, you can make the behavior default in:

File > Preferences > Basic Notes Client Config

and check the box in the Additional Options list box:

[x] Mark documents read when opened in preview pane
