If it ever takes off it *has* to be an MUA task.
The MTA can only confirmation that a message has been delivered*
which is *worse* than useless.
I've even had a mail (news?) reader which didn't mark a message as read
unless it had displayed every line of the text; annoying for things like
spam, but potentially justifiable when confirmation that the message has
actually been read.

* even /dev/null would be a valid delivery if things were broken 8-(
