There are several issues here

1. New messages are created with the status "unread". I
find the name somewhat unclear/unusual/somewhat
misleading (people might have read it!): I think "open"
is a bit more common initial status in bug trackers.

2. I think resolved issues should not be implicitly
resurrected (as happens now if you add a message to a
resolved issue)

3. A bit more general issue is this: does "chatting"
status provide enough benefit to justify its being
turned on by default (it's a bit unusual and thus adds
to confusion, it clutters the interface, etc)

4. Same issue with "done-cbb". It's an uncommon term
and thus adds to confusion, it clutters the interface
and my feeling is that it's rarely used.

5. Status "Rejected" is quite common.. Would it make
sense to have it by default?


To make things worse, it's not that easy to change the
default status names, b/c they are hardcoded in several
places in the code..
