Yep, exactly what I meant. This way we don't change the current logic, but just
enhance it a bit further. Changing the display logic in the OPAC to filter by
the new 'read flag' should not be too hard and it will be a little less
disruptive for the current workflows. Also, if we needed to revert from read to
unread or wanted to optionally show read messages again, that would be
relatively easy, because we can still tell what messages are 'patron' messages. 

I like the idea of making the 'read flag' a date.
