Hi Gene,

Your line lengths seem to be OK now that you have changed your
preferences.  Previously a paragraph was one line.

If you really want to read the last bolded message, the simplest way
would be to sort in reverse chronological order so that the latest
message was on top.  I'm not sure, but I suspect you really want to read
the first message you haven't read in chronological order.  I have one
question though.  Why do you want to mark a message you've read as
unread?  I'm just curious as to what value you get from it, not
criticizing the desire to do so.  (I want to learn something.)

Regarding Peter Kovar's suggestion to set "mark messages as read only
when they are opened in a new window actually does part of what you
want in that you can still click on a message, read it, and the unread
bit is not changed.  The message is only marked as read (unbolded) if
you double click on the message so that it is opened in a new window.
