make the "Mozilla thinks this messages is junk" bar be a different color

Mail.app has it a different color, and I think that helps with discoverability.

jen, what do you think?  if you agree, what colors for classic and modern?

Attachment: Example

Its a nice to have but not critical. Helps users notice that a 'junk' message
is different that other messages. If we do decide to do this, recommend: C7BC8F
(seems to work for both modern and classic and other skins as well).

+  background-color: #C7BC8F;

Well, are you sure it is a good idea to hardcode a color in *classic* skin?
Ok, maybe nobody on earth has a Windows color scheme that displays text at
#C7BC8F or a very similar color, but what if somebody has? Or somebody has a
scheme here this olive green does not fit at all?
Modern theme, ok. But classic theme is widely using system colors and should be
consistent in doing so.

The browser sidebar title for example uses:
background-color: InactiveCaption;
color: InactiveCaptionText;
which looks clearly different and would surely improve discoverability enough
for this bug.

Using trunk build 20030318 and 20030324 on winxp, macosx and linux this is fixed.
