Insulting users is a pretty poor thing to do.  It doesn't matter if
you're in a good mood or not, or if you agree.

I happen to agree with Scott here.  I just read the whole thread, and
now I see what he was saying originally.  I think his original
observation stems from the fact that most people are used to Bold
indicating new messages.  And since as you pointed out Sent never
contains Unread messages (which is right), it should therefore never be
bold.  That is all Scott is saying, and I agree.  Having the message
count for each folder is IMHO very nice though.

I haven't updated Evo since yesterday, so I don't see the issue yet, but
this is my input based on the descriptions in this thread.
