Highlighting or inserting custom signs in incoming text emails
I was wondering if it possible to highlight or put a marker or some kind of sign in the text of incoming emails. For instance, multiple times I find myself starting to read a long incoming email and then having to do some other task, resulting in closing thunderbird.
Closing thunderbird and opening again at the same email to continue where I left off, seems like an impossible task since I can't remember where I stopped reading, so having a mark or highlight something that I can use to indicate where I stopped the last time I was reading this email would be great, especially in long emails where most necessarily we have to revisit multiple times while in between doing other tasks.

The addon, 'auto select latest message', may at least restart with message that was being read. My suggestion is to just leave Thunderbird up while doing other tasks. No need to close and reopen.
I think that might be something not too hard to implement and IMHO we should, since this a must for large emails. You might want to visit that email after a week, a month or a year, and, start where you left off. Keeping your email client for that long open simply eats up necessary resources for other tasks.
Since most emails are text in html format that should be doable. right?
It strikes me as odd that more people aren't in need of such a feature?

Header Tools Lite 1.5.6 allows editing of the headers or full source, e.g. add XXXX to mark where you last read a message, then Ctrl+F to find a mark (highlighted):
