Hi

I am not sure if it is a bug (in drupal 5 privetemsg module it works) or if it is a feature request (and it is not implemented yet)
I added it here as a feature request.
I am missing some flag or info that my sent message was read or no.
In drupal 5 privatemsg it was shown in sent items with text "new" and when the message was without this text, it was read.

Can be done some flag for unread send message? It is really important thing to know something like this.

Thanks a lot

On the listings page, conversations with unread messages are in bold. There is still a need for some changes when reading messages to differentiate between read and unread messages.

EDIT - as noted below by Berdir, there is no such functionality and the stuff I was talking about was for your own messages.

Sent messages can have multiple recipients, so when should they be displayed as read ? If one recipient reads it or everyone?

Wouldn't styled-only (bold) not meet accesibility guidelines? Shouldn't the default be actual "new" text which one may then custom theme away or hide with styling if one doesn't want to meet accesibility standards?

We need to work further on the visual aspects - the current UI has its flaws.

EDIT - and are you sure this is an accessibility issue? Gmail uses the same method to highlight new messages - and I am sure they would put a lot of attention to such issues.

The question could be how to different unread sent messages, maybe received messages could be bold, but sent messages could have some 'unread' flag until they are read...

A UI rework of /messages is on my tasklist, but I want to have #314327: Tagging architecture. and #314066: Upgrade path from Drupal 5. ready and commited first so that HEAD is ready for a first beta version.

So, anyone is invited to test those two things and report back if they work and if something is missing.

The new issue #395532: Message read notification (read receipt) contains more information than this about this issue, I think, so I'll close this one as duplicate.

Feel free to open a new issue about the new indication issue.
