Don't I know about it! <g> Actually, as long as the colors can be customized (and the customization remembered), it's not a big problem. That's why 0.14 and now 0.9x with the current colorized items continue to work for me. I do miss the three-way distinction new/old-unread/read, however, together with color customization entries to match. The problem, from an app developer perspective of course is the bloat/functionality balance, and the increasing complexity of managing all those extra options. I really can't blame Charles for choosing to simplify the three-way new/old/read to a two-way unread/read indicator. That's all that's really needed, and it /does/ simplify things for both the new user and the code maintainer. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
