A good suggestion, but it didn't quite work for me. It had the side effect of 
making the Subject line of fully read watched (custom color) threads the same 
as if they contained unread posts. In other words, the opposite of my 
original problem.

However, it could work if I could train myself to look at the Author line as 
well as the subject. The Author section of the header pane is not custom 
colored, so when there are no unread posts in a watched thread the Author 
line is properly grayed out.
