Bolded topics

ok, so here is the basic concept I want, but it is not working, everything is bold when the database is set to 1 for $read........could you take a look and help?:

<?php
include 'config.php';
include 'opendb.php';

// if no id is specified, list the available articles
if(!isset($_GET['id']))
{

   $query = "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE recipient ='$name' order by date desc";
   $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error());

   // create the article list
   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM))
   {
list($from1, $recipient, $title1, $content, $id, $date, $read) = $row;  
if ($read == $userid){ 
$content1 .= 
"<br /><br />
$from1</p>\r\n";
$content2 .= "<br /><br />
<a href=\"/message.php?id=$id\">$title1</a>\r\n"; 
   }else {
$content1 .= 
"<br /><br />
<strong>$from1</strong></p>\r\n";
$content2 .= "<br /><br />
<a href=\"/message.php?id=$id\">$title1</a>\r\n"; 
   }
