Bug#1115727: geary: Unread and flagged messages no longer visible (no bold subject, no icons) in Geary 46 on Debian 13

[Mr. Wobbo]

Package: geary
Version: 46.0-7
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: ernst.lanser at gmail.com

In Geary 46 on Debian 13 (GNOME 48), unread messages are no longer 
displayed
in bold, and envelope/important icons are missing in the message list. 
This
regression makes it very difficult to distinguish between read and 
unread
messages or to see flagged/important state.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Geary 46 on Debian 13 (GNOME 48).
2. Receive new (unread) messages.
3. Compare read vs unread → both look identical (no bold subject, no 
icons).
4. Mark a message as important → no icon is shown.

Expected result:
- Unread messages should be visually distinct (e.g. bold subject line).
- Important/flagged messages should display an icon.

Actual result:
- No visual difference between read/unread or flagged/unflagged 
messages.

Environment:
- Debian 13 (Trixie), GNOME 48
- Geary 46.0-7 from Debian repositories

Please see the attached screenshots for visual confirmation.

Thank you very much for your time and work on maintaining Geary in 
Debian.

Best regards,
