What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible.
==================================================================================
The icons would look better (and more call-out icon/dialog box like) if they were larger.

What problems would this solve?
===============================
This would make them pop a little more, and makes them more of a symbol representing something rather than looking like a character in a textual message.

Who would use this?
===================
All readers.

What would users see?
=====================
Larger icons in the overhead indicators (the larger ones, not the little badge type ones). Possibly in a circle or something, to have a common background color.

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
Users would just see a larger presentation of the icon.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
I'm going to attach a mockup in a moment.
This is a quick and dirty mockup of one possible way to make the icons pop more. It needs refining probably but it's an idea.
Attached a mockup with larger icons in the default text colour.
Pros:

- icons aid understanding, making them bigger makes understanding faster
- makes page more scannable

Cons:

- messages take up more space
- with current HTML messages with one line can't be vertically aligned and so look funny
