I was sending PM to someone a few days ago and even commented to them that my mail had been read before I had read it. Thought I was going crazy for a few. I see it is happening to others.
I saw a mod explain, once, that when you read a message you sent in your outbox, it will appear as if it was read in the person's inbox that you sent it to.
Would love to test that though.
I am going to PM you and then open the message in my outbox. Let me know if it appears read or unread on your end.
MME...looks like you and Q feel the same way about Corsi.

I was back a couple of page when I saw my notification of PM. It showed up as unread so that explanation can't be correct.
LOST ASTEROID RETURNS TO EARTH:
2010 WC9 is about to get much closer and brighter. On May 15th it will fly past our planet, splitting the distance between Earth and the Moon. At closest approach (203,000 km) it will glow like an 11th magnitude star (200 times brighter than shown above) as it races through the southern constellation Pavo (the Peacock).
Estimates of 2010 WC9's size range from 60 m to 130 m wide. This puts it in the class of the Tunguska impactor, which leveled a forest in Siberia in 1908. And it is at least 3 times as large as the Chelyabinsk meteoroid, which exploded in the morning sky over Russia in Feb. 2013, shattering windows and knocking people to the ground
GEOMAGNETIC STORMS POSSIBLE LATER THIS WEEK: NOAA forecasters say that polar geomagnetic storms are possible on May 17th when a stream of solar wind reaches Earth. The gaseous material is flowing from a southern hole in the sun's atmosphere:

This is a coronal hole--a place where the sun's magnetic field opens up and allows solar wind to escape. Coronal holes look dark because hot glowing gas normally contained there is missing.
Previous encounters with solar wind from this coronal hole suggest that storm levels could reach category G2 when the fast-moving stream arrives. High latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras and, of course, STEVE.

Slightly OT but has anyone else in here the "problem" that PM's are sometimes shown as already read before you even clicked on them for the first time. I had a few instances where that happened.

This happens if the person that sent the PM goes to their sent box and opens the message before the person receiving it opens the PM.
Dubbed “Who’s Who Live,” Sky News announced the live-stream service last week in partnership with Amazon.com and several data and engineering firms. As the 600 guests enter the chapel, Sky News will highlight notable attendees using Amazon Rekognition, a cloud-based technology that can recognize and compare faces in images and video using artificial intelligence.
Along with identifying the wedding guests, the live-stream service will also show facts about them, Sky News said, using captions and on-screen graphics through the company’s app. The data will be displayed alongside the video of the procession into the chapel.

Sent you a PM and then opened in my sent box.

I noticed that when I look at PMs I've just sent then they appear read in my inbox and could appear read in the senders inbox.
She rose to fame starring alongside Christopher Reeve in the Superman films of the 1970s and 1980s.
The Canadian-born actress acquired American citizenship in 2005, and became a political and women's rights activist alongside her acting.
The cause of her death is not yet known.
As an activist, she was arrested in 2011 while taking part in a protest at the White House against the Keystone XL pipeline, which remains controversial today.
While working on her memoirs, a computer virus destroyed all of her work, she told the magazine - something she concluded was deliberate, and involved her former husband and the CIA.
