I have problems spotting the microscopic image which tags a

their
status as "unread" until I deal with the contents - it's
essentially my to-do list. I use flag status for a different
function.
I am using SeaMonkey 2.40 on WinXP Pro SP3
My likely relevant settings are:
View->Layout->Classic View
View->Apply Theme->SeaMonkey Default Theme
My preferred solution would be to change the color of the folder
title to indicate presence of *NEW* unread messages.
A _possible_ alternative might be toggling font face/metric of
the folder title.
Comments?
TIA
Instead of re marking it as unread, you can right click on the
heading and select "tag". This gives you a range of types of
tags with different colors. I have never used it except to try
it out. Try that out.
I already have 26 tags defined. Some based on subject. Some
based on importance. Some messages have 3 or 4 tags applied.
Under Views->Message->Custom Views I have 14 listed. I also
display the total number of unread messages in each folder so
it seems reasonable to wish change some *VISIBLE* attribute of
the folder's name when there is a *NEW* message present. Rather
than that all but infinitesimal microscopic arrow.
YMMV ;/
Perhaps the best way is to "move" the message into the well
choosen folder name into the "Local Folders" groups.
That would obscure important context information i.e. which post
of which sub-thread it refers. It's not unusual for someone to
reply to multiple posts by one author - those posts being in
distinct sub-threads.
