Comment:

 Fixed in changeset:1633 (finally)

 Since this was a particularly sneaky one, I'll explain a bit:

 You articulated this in some fashion or another at some point, but the
 problem lied with forms like the radiogram and not forms like the ICS-213,
 Memo, Email, etc.  This is because the message module has a routine for
 discovering new messages that appear in the store by keying off of a lack
 of information about that message.  On messages (such as a radiogram)
 where an underlying routine returned "Unknown" the code was always falling
 back into "this must be new, so give it a default set of properties",
 which includes unread-ness.  I've changed this to make forms that are
 known, but just don't have subject fields (like the radiogram) to
 fabricate one.  In the case of the radiogram, it should construct the
 subject as SOURCE#NUMBER, which becomes something like KK7DS#42, which I
 think makes sense in the radiogram case.

 So, in the next beta, you should see proper behavior.  Reopen this if not.

 Thanks for your patience!
