New messages are bolded so you can tell them apart from read messages.
I've no idea what the "weird block next to the date on text messages" is.
And you don't see the signal strength when composing a message (email or text). once you click send, it then shows in your messages folder at which point you can see the signal. If it doesn't have signal to send it will wit till there is.
