Jax,
Give us a chance to figure this out.
Remember, that "feature" was actually something special that we had done at the source code level of the old site. As stated, we will no longer change the core code of the site (beyond correcting "border='0'" issues) because it hinders us from ever moving to later versions (and avoiding security problems).
This means that what you're asking for has to be hand-written as a seperate "third party" module for the site. For now, as the other person stated, it's outlined by the stock number of new mails in brackets.
We'll get there folks. We'll get there.
