This is fixed in Mailspring 1.20.0! The root cause was that Windows was not correctly applying CSS font-weight: bold values in certain contexts — we’ve switched to CSS variables for font weight and applied a slightly heavier styling on Windows, where the system font doesn’t have a “600” weight, which resolves the rendering issue. Update and the bold text in the message list should be back.
