Sorry, the above lines did not work. I tried the following with my
own matcherrc without syntax errors:

export MATCHFILE=.claws-mail/matcherrc
cat $MATCHFILE|perl -e\ "while(<STDIN>){ \
 s/(move|forward|color)/\& ~unread \1/ unless (/unread/); \
 print}" > $MATCHFILE.bck

If it looks fine do: cp $MATCHFILE{.bck,}

Claws needs to be restarted as the rules are parsed at startup.
Also it's a good idea to keep a backup outside of .claws-mail. :]

If there are multiple conditions it's not that easy as it is
not possible mix | and & so only two rules need match I think.
