Re: GMail goofiness
Nope, I just found another thread in my inbox where one message is Gene to bme/b, Albert (i.e. only me is bolded) and in the same thread, another message Lenny Bensman to bLuba/b, Albert (i.e. FROM me to two recipients, one of which is bolded). And this also shows the case that I mentioned in the previous message where only some recipients are bolded, not all or none. It's very mysterious feature...

Re: GMail goofiness
Interesting idea, but doesn't appear to be so. Just looked through my various messages, and I see bolding happen for to's and for cc's with no discernable pattern.

Re: GMail goofiness
Well, it just bold me, but other people as well. And I have instances of conversation with lots of recepients bolded that have not contributed to the conversation. Personal indeed, but mysterious is a more relevant descriptor here :) On 2/5/08, James Rankin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Doesn't it just bold the me in conversations you have contributed to?

Ah, I just realized... What I sdescribed is the message/thread view. If you are looking in a container view (Inbox, Spam, Trash, etc), names will be bold if there is a new message from them in that thread. Messages from people that have been read will not be in bold.
