Furthermore, "reading" may mean fetching a large message from a slow
server, which is frustrating if you're reading stuff out of sequence,
especially as Evo is very iffy when it comes to interrupting a network
action. I find toggling View->Message Preview (Ctrl-M) useful but if you
open each message in its own window that won't help.

Me too. In fact I turn off Preferences->"Mark Messages read after N
seconds" so Evo will never mark them as read unless I say so (Ctrl-K).
