OE unread messages not bold

Well, nobody has ever heard of this before, including me, but when I was switching computer systems, both systems suddenly stopped showing the unread messages in boldface. The two computers were never connected to each other in any way, but I was fiddling with the desktop fonts on both, so I thought perhaps I had chosen a font that didn't show bold. But I tried a number of fonts and never got the bold back. The old computer had OE 5 with Win 98 and the new one (which I am using now) came (from a friend who never used OE) with OE 6 with XP. I can't remember if the OE 6 ever showed the bold or not. The yellow envelope still shows properly, but that is not visible enough for me.

Anyway, I'm pretty desperate to see my incoming unread mail in bold again. Can somebody help me?
