Black vs Gray

[+-Steve-+]

I've recently noticed that (maybe it happened when I upgraded from Outlook
2000 to 2002) that some unread messages in the Inbox are not bold black, but
instead are bold grey. And some read messages are not normal black, but
instead are normal grey. It looks like they are always ads --maybe not
spam, but opt in type ads that I may have inadvertently agreed to receive.

What is the distinction between black and grey?

Click Tools>Organize>Using Colors>Automatic Formatting. See if the
"Commercial E-mail" category selects grey for the color.
