The new popup swipe defaults to the first unread message

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Receiving a text on a thread with unread messages
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
What I see is the popup seems to show the first unread message rather than the 
message that just came. I would expect the popup to always open the newest 
message on the thread and allow to swipe back to older ones if desired.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ver 1.2 on Nexus S 4G running stock Android ICS 4.0.4.

Please provide any additional information below.

The way it works is:
 -receive message 1, message 1 shows
 -receive message 2, message 2 loads behind message 1

This is because you could be looking at message 1 when the next message comes 
in so it would be strange to scroll over to the next message.

If there are unread messages already when message 1 comes in, then message 1 
will be in focus at the right-most of the stack as you mentioned above.

I'm not sure any other behavior makes sense unfortunately but let me know if 
you think there's a better way to deal with this.

My problem is that by selecting a link on the message (a phone number
specifically) the popup is dismissed but the message remains marked as
unread. When a new message comes, the new popup has the two (or more)
messages but it defaults to show the first unread message which I already
saw. For general use as you say, this makes sense, for what I use you
messaging (as a pager) it creates a major issue.

What would solve my issue is when I tap the phone number (or link) on the
popup it would dismiss the popup AND mark that message as read as well.
