Yes, I agree its better and I think (?) it's what I intended. :P

The pros are clear for me. Is there any con for this choice? :)

I can just see the situation where you'll late on your mail and the last one 
contains something urgent, or has already solved the "situation" you were 
called to solve.

I know that there are two ways of reading unread messages:
1. from the last one backwards
2. from the earliest one onwards

Mail clients simply solve this issue allowing message sorting (ascending or 
descending by date) and I know a few people of both camps.

What do you think?

Yes. In fact Google solves it quite well with bolds and multiple listing...
