# When opening Messages

## post by Garrett_Leonard on Jan 8

I know this seems like a small request, but it would be very nice if clicking the “messages” tab did not open up the first message. When receiving a lot of client responses, this can make it easier to miss messages since one may be opened and not responded to even though it will be marked as read.

Hi [@Garrett_Leonard](https://community.assembly.com/u/garrett_leonard) Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your feedback. I’ve passed this request along to our product team as a feature request.

I also wanted to let you know that you can mark a message as unread. To do this, right-click (or two-finger click) on the conversation in the message list and select **Mark as unread**. This can help ensure messages aren’t overlooked.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any other feedback or requests. We’re always here to help and listen!
