When browsing the thread list in a large newsgroup in high resolution (I run
1920x1440) it is too difficult to notice the little green mark on the + for the
thread which signifies the thread has new messages.

Scanning for new messages is critical, and I prefer threaded mode. I propose
that threads with new messages be accentuated more.

Proposed solutions:
1) Highlight the thread with a different background color

2) Display the thread in bold text, as is done for the actual new message. This
might confuse users though

3) Expand threadw with new messages, to show the bolded new message automatically.
This is a duplcate, I believe of another enhancement request... will lookg for 
it.

this is similar to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74357 but not a
dup since that is for unread messages and this is for new messages.  There will
definitely be some overlap.

This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
