When an error occurs, I can close the error message banner by clicking on the "x", but that also marks the message as no longer "new", although I haven't actually read the message. Closing the banner should only do that - close the banner - and not do anything with the message.

The "new" flag of a message should only be removed:

• if I explicitely open a message in Pulse to read it
• if I select the message in Pulse and mark it as "read" (not possible currently)
• if I click on the "[MORE]" link button in a message banner to get to the details of a message (this also opens the message)

We strive for a unified treatment of "new" and "read" (similar to application such as Apple Mail) as the subtleties of "new" vs. "read" messages often lead to confusion and, hence, missed messages.
