Bug Description

Currently, the two columns in the messages view aren't clearly separated. In the attached screenshot, the second column starts at the red line, but it should really start at the blue line where the first column ends.

Apparently I found this bug while looking for another one solving the same thing. Attaching another patch here, if somebody spots the other one, dup it on this one here, please.

I got the patch from a pastebin and modified it because gtk2 was broken and the code was very confusing, at first I thought it didn't work.

Now color_unread is the color of unread messages.
Sender, date and number of replies use that color.

I got the feeling this was very mixed up before. If it should behave differently, let's discuss it clearly first.

Erm, there is a very recent patch here which I think shouldn't be ignored like that. I'm renaming the report accordingly.
