Sereral people have asked me where their priority coloring went after switching
to mozilla from quickmail.

I have seen bug 81085, so all we need now is a filter that changes the label to
give that nice look and feel for the average user that wants that, and the
possibility of changing it easily for the other users that don't like it.  It's
only a filter...

Reproducible: Always

How should I attach a proposed filter?  I can make it quite easily.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I can't see doing this, as priority can be set by spam to be high.

Comment 5

[Bryan Clark (DevTools PM) [:clarkbw]]

is there a way this could be done in an extension?

An extension could certainly define a filter to add a tag to a message based on tne incoming priority.

Comment 7

[Onno Ekker [:nONoNonO UTC+1]]

Looks to me as if this can be implemented as a user defined filter without the need of an extension?

I don't think we want this no. Comment 7 has a good solution for people who want it.
