It would be great to be able to hide your News & Blogs subscriptions that don't
have any new posts.  Currently this is displayed in non-bold text (bold text for
feeds with new posts).  A similar feature exists in most IM clients that allow
you to hide contacts that aren't online.  You should be able to toggle between
showing 'all', and showing 'new'.  This would allow people to subscribe to many
more news and blog feeds without cluttering their interface.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to a blog feed
2. Read all of the entries in that blog
3. Leave that feed

Actual Results:  
the subscription doesn't become hidden.

Expected Results:  
the subscription should become hidden

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
