New Enhanced Priority Display add-on
For your information, my new Thunderbird / Seamonkey add-on, Enhanced Priority Display, has just been fully approved on addons.mozilla.org. This add-on allows you to do any or all of the following: * Replace the words in the Priority column with icons. * Mark high-priority messages with italics and a larger font. * Fade low-priority messages. * Mark high-priority messages with a red, striped background. * Mark low-priority messages wotj a blue, striped background. You can also supply your own icons for the Priority column if you don't like the ones that are included. You can search for and download the add-on within Thunderbird or Seamoney, or get it from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/enhanced-priority-display/ Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Enjoy! Jonathan Kamens ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Uhhh... while this is a neat UI improvement, do the priority flags mean anything nowadays? I see so much misuse of them (*spam* marked high priority! And some people mark *all* messages high priority...) that I simply hide the column. I'm under the impression that mail servers have also ignored these flags for a long, long time... -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

Addendum: Jonathan, if you manage to figure out an easy way to CHANGE the priority flag of a RECEIVED message, that would be FANTASTICALLY USEFUL! For me, it would mean that I don't have to rely on the judgment of *other people* to tell me my priorities. This would actually make those flags USEFUL to me again -- sort of like an improved version of the flag for later (Gmail's star) flag, with two positive and two negative levels, instead of just a binary state. But, I realize that this would be way more complicated than just an UI change. So I don't hold much hope for this RFE... -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

Thanks to bogofilter and Spamhaus, I see well under 1% of the spam which people attempt to put into my mailbox, so I don't really care whether spammers abuse the Priority field. I don't find that non-spammers abuse it all that much. I don't think most people mark *all* messages 'high priority', although I agree that those who do are rude. In short, I find it useful to be able to see the priorities my correspondents have marked messages with, so I find the add-on useful. Your mileage may vary, of course. This is a feature that many people have asked for over the years here, on MozillaZine, and on GetSatisfaction.com, so it's clearly something that some people want.
