Are you envisaging: - a menu entry, perhaps at the very bottom of the menu, which says something like "Clear these message highlights" - that might be shown only when there are highlighted messages - clicking it removes those messages from the menu and resets the indicator to "normal" state The implementation might be tricky, because I think we generally rely on apps existing ability to track "unread" messages. We would now be asking them to track "unread messages that have appeared since the highlights were cleared" separately from "unread messages which were cleared". So, a new capability in every compliant app. As such, we can't lightly do an experiment. But we can discuss it in more details here, and if there's good reason to do it, plan for it in 10.10 or 11.04. MPT? Mark
