well, go ahead and display the message count if you find it so
important, but i for one think bolding the folder is just unnecessary,
and implies unread-ness, considering that is what bold means in the rest
of the tree view.  while ui decisions often cause people to whinge and
bicker about what's 'natural' (none of this nonsense is natural at all),
you can eliminate confusion by being consistent.  bold is used in the
tree view to represent unread messages contained in folders. (and also
to represent logical section breaks, but that is not relevant to this
conversation).  it makes the most sense to keep it that way.
