Re: Unread Messages

It would be nice if messages had an unread flag by default, which was 
then either flagged automatically or could at least be done manually, 
similar to the existing flag mechanism.

I want to say up front that I wish I could help directly to do this but 
I have zero Java experience. If it's easy for someone else to do, who 
knows the internals of the program, great. If not maybe I'll look into 
picking up some java.

I would love to use ZOË for all of my email/RSS needs and to me the 
read/unread issue is the only thing in the way.
