Signal-android: Mark new/unread messages in conversation
In whatsapp, when you open a group chat for example, you see just above the new messages that were posted a little banner "New messages /unread messages". I find this feature really helpful to not be lost in a conversation.

I agree, it is especially useful in group conversations.
Here's a screenshot in Whatsapp:

@jocelynthode been taking care of more pressing functional issues. These aesthetic changes are still certainly considered, just triaged at a lower priority an we have limited resources.

@mcginty : No worries ! Take your time for the more important issues. I certainly understand that minor things like these are less important than others.

This is my second complete rewrite of this comment... I see code that seems to refer to the read state of messages, but I might be mixing it up with the read state of threads that's used to embolden the text currently.
I dumped the sms and mms DB schema on the wiki for reference in the future. It appears that the mms table has a columns named read and read_status. I need to determine how they're used before duplicating it in the sms table and plumbing it through the various MessageRecord classes.
