Default How do I highlight current messages

Recently I have lost the 'shading' of the group and/or current message I
am viewing. Also, when I search, the finds are no longer highlighted. Help
me, please, get them re-marked with the shading option. Thanks, sdlomi2

Default How do I highlight current messages

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it.
If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old
identity and delete it.

Have you been fiddling with Display Properties recently? eg

That can happen if your Display Properties, Advanced Appearance,
Menu Font is Bolded. Unbold that selection if you want to retain
that distinction about messages. Otherwise you can always look at the
icons or even look at the right-click menu to notice whether a message
has been read or is still marked unread. Also, note that you can always
find unread messages by pressing Ctrl-u (or using the equivalent Toolbar
button, Next Unread Message.)
