There's good news and bad news!  The good news is that version 1.2.1 
has some new code that will find an unread message when you hit the 
`Next unread' button (or menu item), even if it's not viewable.  The 
thread is expanded to reveal the new message.

The bad news is...it's not always the *next* unread message.  Due to an 
unfortunate oversight on my part (i.e., not testing the patch carefully 
enough!), Balsa starts looking one message ahead of where it should.  A 
patch to fix this should find its way into cvs shortly, and I've posted 
one at Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62737 id = 
5889).
