Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 108820

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Jörg Skottke]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020703
BuildID:    2002070308

It is a major pain to find new messages that belong to an older thread.
Currently the thread gets a small mark of some kind and is underlined. 
This is still very hard to see.
I would like to have an option that marks the thread containing new messages by
a bold font in a selectable color. Another possibility would be to assign a
backgroundcolor to the first message of a thread containing new mail/news.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. xx
2.
3.

Actual Results:  It's hard to find new messages that are grouped below older threads

Expected Results:  Enhanced usability / better visibility

Yes, it is a dupe. Better a dupe than a PEBKAC ;-)
