1. Launch Messenger
2. Switch it to Classic theme 
3. Form the Thread pane, observe the Unread message
Actual result: Unread message does not show bolded text
Expected result: It should be bolded.

Linux and Mac not tested due to bug45336

4. Also check the folder pane
Actual result:  Folders' name with Unread message is NOT bolded.
Expected result: Folder name should be bolder when there exists a Unread message

Since I do not want to run the risk of having a dup. I am putting this in the
same bug because it is also bold text problem. Developer, if you want a separate
bug, please let me know. I'll file one.

I think this has to do with Reflesh problem. Because when I exit and relaunch
Messenger uisng the Classic theme, the bolded text shows up in both the Folder
pane and the Thread pane

Sending Classic Theme bugs to Brendan for management.

[Brendan Donohoe]

This is not theme specific.  If you switch from Classic to Modern, the same 
problem occurs.  Only quitting and relaunching the application will cause 
the bolding to come back.

Putterman, can you investigate what's going on here?

reassigning to ben.  It looks like many style rules are not working after 
switching.  cc'ing mscott.  I'm wondering if this is related to the crash when 
selecting a message after switching a skin bug since the moment I try to do 
something, I crash.

Testing under 6.01, new messages in thread pane are properly "bolded" (I'm
sorting by date). However, folders with unread mail in folder pane don't get
"bolded"

[Paul Chen]

Pretriage of skinnability bugs, marking nsbeta1

Comment 11

[Paul Chen]

Marking nsbeta1-, adding polish and dogfood keywords. This is one of those
things that should just work. Marking nsbeta1- because I don't think Ben will
get to this for beta1.

[James Green]

Is this really only an NT issue? Mozilla1.0 nomination.

Comment 13

[Paul Chen]

Marking nsbeta1- bugs as future to get off the radar.

converting from dogfood to catfood.  This isn't preventing anyone from doing work.

nav triage: reassigning to Steve Morse, targeting mozilla0.9.2, nsCatFood+

Unread message part of this report is working for me.  They indeed remain bold 
after a theme switch.  However I am seeing the second item mentioned in the 
bug report, namely the the folder which contains the unread message is no longer 
bold after the switch.

Updating summary from

   Unread messages/folders are no longer bolded after theme switch

to

   Folders with unread messages are not bolded after theme switch

OK, reading further I see that pchen reached the same conclusion on 2001-02-08.  
But he never updated the summary line to reflect that.

nav triage: not an rtm stopper, esp since in commercial builds, we may require 
you to restart in order to see the new theme take effect. moving to m1.0. 

Comment 18

[Stephen P. Morse]

More realistic milestone since dynamic theme switches are not being supported.
