When using the messaging interface, I have a little difficulty distinguishing bold from non-bold in the list of messages, so it's not always clear to me what's unread and what's been read already.
If unread messages were in bright green text and read messages were not I'd have an easier time with this. Even better if it's not a huge undertaking would be to add a user pref with a color chooser to Visuals.
Adding a color picker is much more than I'm willing to put into the settings panel for this, but I'll keep it in mind - how about a "new" tag, similar to what appears on new sentence comments, usage notes, etc?

Ok, so after I wrote this, I realized I might be thinking of somewhere else, as the spot I'm in already has a "new" tag. Can you screenshot where you'd like to see this added?
This was taken after reading all unread messages this morning, so the fonts are all non-bold. Some messages have “new” in the subject, some do not. Either way, the difference between bold and non-bold (ふてじ and ???) is hard for me to discern.
Somewhere in 練習 I’ve seen a little label with the text “New” - looks a bit like a button. That’s what I thought you were referring to.
Another idea: a Visuals pref where the user could put in a color code (#00ff00) for new message headers. No color picker required. Filter out #000000 to keep users from shooting themselves in the foot. No idea how your rendering code works though, so no idea of the effort involved in using the color code when rendering the message list.
