Just chanced my arm and updated v12 to v14.

I have applied the following rule :- (as proposed by winston)



Apply this rule after the message arrives - For all messages - Highlight it
with Black (not default) - Stop processing more rules

This rule is No.1 on the list. Please enlighten me if something is wrong,
but still only the From field is Bold.

Help guys

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely
foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

That's ALL you can get ........ Bold in the From column.

The rule prevents a message fields(From, Subject, Sent etc) visual text from
turning to washed-out gray after being 'read' or marked as 'read',. It does
not 'bold' any field.

Thanks guys,

I have gone back to WLM 2008 v12. I found the From field only being
highlighted/bold insufficiently clear to search for unread posts.

Yes I know that I could have put a Next Unread tool on the toolbar, but I
prefer to look at the subject and if it interests me, then expand it and
read the unread posts.

That's the way I use WLM and this reason alone is enough to make 2009/v14
unsuitable for me whatever the other (dis)advantages may be.

Perhaps if MS issue another update that fixes this issue, I may install 2009
v1x.

Other guys may disagree but this post is IMHO and of course YMMV

This practice (only bolding the 'From') is especially bad when reading
newsgroup messages because the posters are often unknown to you,
and the column of interest is the Subject field.

Gary,
Do you know if any of the beta testers complained about this lack of bolding
the Subject field and if so, what was MS's response?
Lack of this single feature is what is keeping me away from taking WLM
seriously.

Microsoft pulled a fast one on us beta testers. The last beta build
given to us did not have this lack of bolding. Then they released
the final version without the beta testers having a crack at it first.
Needless to say this whole episode left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Spot On...

We should have the choice of bolding the entire line...

And the message text too, for that matter.

They seemed to be in a rush to release V.14 to the web.
