Indeed, I think you're right that it's merely visited
link styling vs. not visited.  It didn't exist in our
ancient RT.

We find it really obnoxious, as it creates a false sense
of ticket priority (where the visited tickets fade into
the background more visually, because they're grey).
Unread tickets, in black, jump out loudly in the sea of
of my other much higher priority (to me) tickets.

BLACK: "I'm getting a new Linux box in 2 weeks, please
        set it up"

grey:  "The datacenter caught fire last night."
