I just did a quick check: WL fetches only the message headers for an
auto-refile.

You can use `t R` to mark a thread read, `r R` to mark a region read,
or even use `?` to search, then `m R` to mark the “picked” messages as
read. Anyhow, it works for me with high-volume lists. Your mileage may
vary.
