(Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+])

I've moved into running seamonkey all the time and not using 4.7 at all. One of the annoyances I've noticed is that the new mail count in the flash panel quickly becomes worthless because it never gets cleared. I would expect, that after we download new messages, we should clear this count. Typical scenario: I come in, log on in the morning and download 50 messages. The flash panel says 50 new messages. Now as the day goes on, I get more messages and we see 51, 52, 53, etc. But the numbers really become meaningless because I don't remember what the new message count was before I did my last fetch new mail. I have to keep track of it in my head when the flash panel info should do it for me.

removing the 6/16 date. I hope nobody gets too upset about this. But, this is all part of the biff feature that we have an exception for until 6/22
