it is inconsistent UI.  Why is *only* the unseen column linked?  Why  
not New messages?  Or Total messages?

Either the entire row is linked, or one element is linked.  If  
multiple elements (but not all) are linked, the understanding is that  
those links do different things.  That was not the case.

The presence of recent messages is the exception, not the norm.   
Having an entirely empty row the vast majority of the time just pushes  
the total message count further away from the subject of the row (the  
mailbox name), making it harder to read.

The ngettext() call is a valid point - it was originally in there when  
I first fixed up the block but got lost somewhere in the last month.   
It has been re-added.
