Offset read receipt start positions by 1px

As mentioned in 208faf6d46, the velocity-animate update causes read receipts to occasionally show up 14px to the right of where they should be. This is because the read receipt width is 14px, and velocity-animate will *not* translate `left` if it isn't changing. Unfortunately, it's smart enough to realize that `-0px` is `0px`, so we end up having to specify `1px`. 

The comment already mentions it, but this should have no perceived effect for the user. During development I could not tell if the 1px was being applied during the animation, implying that it's a meaningless value. It's a bit unfortunate for those who know that it's translating left by 1px, but hopefully they'll be able to unsee that in time.
