Hmmm. It also seems to do the same to any line which starts with a
space. Does that help? :)

I think it's just the font it's using. Previously, the bold face and the
normal face (of the font used by Evo 1.2) were sufficiently different
that you can tell the difference at a glance. With the font used by Evo
1.3 on my box, however, the bold face isn't as different, and it's hence
much harder to tell new mail from old.
