Here is the problem, when I open up wcNAV message client and it list all
of the echos some are bold(new messages are present) or not bold(no new
messages). What happens is when I go into a bold message area there
should be new messages for me to see. If the message was set to private
and is the last message in that echo then I will continue to get this
bold status because I cannot read the message that is triggering the
bold to be on. So when the message client scans for new messages in the
echo, it also needs to check whether or not I have access to read it and
if not then don't bold the echo as having new mail in it for me to read.
It seems that the message client only looks at my last read pointer
instead of really finding out if I read all the mail I can in that echo.

Hope this makes sense! :)
