@cmadeo

Can we allow people to mark messages as read/unread while they are without internet?

I think not for v1. I thought through a more robust way of marking as read when there's connection or server issues (See approach 2 in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T287302), but it feels a little heavy handed at this point. The easiest approach would be to let them try, then just show an error message banner after they attempt and the call fails.
