two icons for columns headed by icons (one for sorted ascending, one for sorted 
descending)

from steve:

When mail in the 3pane is sorted by a column that only has an icon 
representation, we don't show the direction of the sort.  I'm sure this is 
because we don't want to widen the column just for that and there isn't room to 
put the arrow in.  I wonder though whether we could do something simple like 
moving the existing icon up and putting a line arrow below it (or the reverse) 
to convey that sorting is on that column in that direction?

jglick thinks something like this would be a good idea, but not a high priority.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
