Do you mean the color difference between Read and Unread links?
On my computer the text for Unread links is Blue. Once a link 
is Read, the color changes to Magenta/Maroon.

For newer browsers, the color change is immediate and automatic.
I use SeaMonkey which has tabbed browsing. I usually keep the 
list open in one tab, and open specific messages in other
tabs. However, if I move up or down a thread and access other
messages, those messages change to 'Read' in on the main list.

With my older browser, I had to reload the main page to get 
the Read links to update on the main list. 

Does this sound like what you are referring too?

If so, give us the browser names and versions. That would tell
us a lot.

Also, some it is possible in some browsers to prevent web
pages from changing your pre-set colors (and text and other
things). That usually doesn't work well as most websites
have a Style Sheet that dictactes the look of the site and
keeps it consistent from page to page. As I said, you can
override this but the results aren't always good.

That's about the best I can do with the limited information
I have.
