I don't like doing crazy things to the scrollbar, and Google is definitely not a reference when it comes to scrollbars, they love doing retarded unworkable scrollbars. I'd point you to TextMate's bookmark feature, which adds the mark on the gutter. There's the jump to next bookmark command, and that's it. With that, simple horizontal lines (see Colloquy) could appear in the scrollbar to indicate fav marks. That's more scalable for large threads. On the fav idea, I'd also like to fav people. Whenever some one posts to a list, I want their post highlighted, to make sure I don't miss, don't just skim it. Sounds like an easy plugin/rule, and probably all this fav thing will end up in one, but since we're discussing it already anyway, I thought I'd throw it in. Also, are the stars supposed to mark entire messages? or just excerpts? With entire messages, they'd map to the IMAP flag feature. But I kinda like the idea of bookmarking particular excerpts.
