Another kmail question

Standard, if you have not changed Kmail's behaviour, folders with new 
mail will be in bold, whereas folders with nothing new will be in 
regular.
That effect dribbles all the way through up to the top level folder 
containing the sub(-sub(-sub...))-folder with the new mail.

However, you will not be able to see this effect if you have chosen to 
have folders in bold always.

Check your Kmail settings.
If the custom font control is turned off, or if you have specifically 
set folder fonts to be something else than bold, and you cannot see 
the effect I'm talking about, then you are likely to have a bug on 
you hands (err, in Kmail ;o))

For the record, it works fine here.
Kmail 1.4.3 under KDE 3.0.3 on SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional.

Best regards :o)
