In this update only the sender is highlighted in bold on a new message.. In
the past the subject was also.
This is very hard to sift through when only looking for new messages..

You're a bit late with that comment, but be sure and let Microsoft
know how you feel:

Hi, dwolf.

I'm not sure what your last comment meant, but...

A workaround that works for me and many others is to create a News Rule that
says simply:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
For all messages
Highlight it with Default

Many prefer to highlight with Black, but I like to use Default. You can try
both and see which works best for you.

For me using XP, using black make unread From is bold black and read From is
black. All of the other columns are black whether read or unread.
Using default, unread From is bold black and everything else is black.
When the message is read, From is black and everything else is gray.

I tried that with two complaints.... Yes it highlighted all new in blue as
I picked, but when I close WLM and go back to that group those messages are
still blue... not new anymore.. so the new ones do not stand out..
And It also over rode a setting I have that puts all of my posts in red..
(watching)

Truly amazing how new versions can be so lacking....
I would really like to go back to 12 but not sure I can do it

Hi, dwolf.

> Truly amazing how new versions can be so lacking....

Not lacking. Just different.

I have several Mail Rules, but this is my ONLY News Rule. So I did not
bother to check the "Stop processing more rules" box. Also, I did not
experiment with other settings. To get YOUR rules customized to fit the way
YOU use WLM, you'll need to learn a little more about how the Rules work.

> I would really like to go back to 12 but not sure I can do it

Going backwards to version 12 will be at least as much hassle for you as
going forward by learning what you need to know about version 14. And then
you will still have this part of the learning curve ahead of you, rather
than behind you.

It's still as easy to find new messages as ever: press Ctrl-u
