A thread with five people on it was represented by one arbitrary face, which reads as a message from one person. Up to three participants now overlap, so "several people" is legible at a glance without needing to parse the name line. Capped at three: past that the circles shrink below recognisability and the row becomes texture rather than information, and the remainder is already stated in the "and N others" text right beside it. The reader is filtered out of their own thread list, and the other party leads — faces read left to right, so the primary correspondent has to be the leftmost one and the one carrying the unread badge. Each face gets a ring in the row background colour; without it a stack of similar photos merges into one shape. Resolution now covers the first few participants rather than only the lead, otherwise the second and third faces would sit as monograms permanently.
