By default, Mail will mark a message in a conversation read after a short delay. To adjust the short delay (for example, to remove it), use the following command (replacing 0 with the desired time in seconds):
defaults write com.apple.Mail MarkAsReadDelay 0
To revert to the default:
defaults delete com.apple.Mail MarkAsReadDelay
As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to affect the delay for single messages.
