Hm... the progress seems to have stalled. Meanwhile, the default
Thunderbird 17 on Ubuntu does not light up the blue envelope for meeting
invites (!) nor any kind of mail that is relevant to me and I've been
CC'd on. This is using the ExQuilla addon to provide Exchange backend
support.

Title:
  Thunderbird's messaging menu highlight helps some people but not many

Status in Ayatana Design:
  In Progress
Status in The Messaging Menu:
  Invalid
Status in “indicator-messages” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  By default, when new emails arrive in Thunderbird, they *sometimes* highlight 
the messaging menu. As described by Chris Coulson, a message highlights the 
menu if:
  "- The message is sent with high-priority OR
  - The message is flagged (by a filter) OR
  - The message is addressed directly to the recipient (eg, not CC) AND the 
message is not low prioirty AND the message wasn't automated AND the message is 
not from a mailing list."

  This is good behavior for some people, but not for others, e.g. ViViD:
  "In my personal case, no message received through Thunderbird lacks
  importance. Since I hide the launcher by default, many mails go
  unnoticed for a time and I find myself randomly mousing over the
  launcher to check mails."

  To suit more people, Thunderbird should contain a setting for which
  messages highlight the messaging menu. One option should be to
  highlight messages if they are from one of your contacts.

  This setting needs design, and then proposing (and maybe implementing)
  upstream.
