The group name has always been bold, here.  (I'm using custom fonts
also.. Bitstream Vera Sans.. it appears from the prefs dialog.)

PAN differentiates between new and unread messages in the display with the
BOLD attribute. You don't mention new messages, but I'm assuming all those
you are seeing this with are new.  IOW, if you leave some messages marked
unread, then d/l new ones (and there are new ones to d/l), the new ones
will all be bold while the old ones will switch from bold to Roman/Normal.

So I guess the answer to your question then is yes, it IS supposed to do
that, with the conditional that you ARE talking about "new" messages, as
well.
