Yes, but one doesn't have to use the JAM last read pointer mechanisms. A
few years ago I switched to using sqlite for last read pointers, so each
individual message could be read/unread by each user. Unfortunatly it was
waaay to slow (my implementation that is) so I scrapped it.

Yeah perhaps. Just not sure how to display it. I currently have reply
navigation as al suggested implemented though.
