Original description:

This is a corner-case, but when seen leads to unintuitive results.

The current logic in the conversation list is to display the oldest unread
message as the preview. This is by design (#5921). However, if all messages
are read in a conversation, the logic is to use the newest in-folder message
for the preview, falling back on the newest out-of-folder message. (Since the
conversation can only be displayed if one or more messages is in-folder, the
latter should never be necessary.)

It is possible, however, for the newest message to be out-of-folder. Eric saw
this situation in his Important folder where earlier messages were
heuristically marked by Gmail as Important but the newest message was not. If
the newest message is unread, then it becomes the preview message. When the
conversation is completely read, the message prior to it (the newest _in-
folder_ message) becomes the preview. This is unintuitive.

The right course of action seems to be to always use the newest message in a
conversation, regardless of its location, as the preview message.
