Chris, good move to apply a natural "to me" filter. In addition,
however, I think we need a toggle which lets me flag the people who I
consider "important", and have emails from those people ONLY turn the
message icon blue.

Ideally, there would be a central addressbook, and I could favourite
specific contacts, and those contacts only would turn the message icon
blue. In T-Bird, perhaps this could be done with an option to activate
the message icon only for messages tagged [Important, ] where the user
could edit those tags?

Later on, I assume we'll have a central addressbook, and can do it more
elegantly.

But for now, the blue hint is not useful for anyone who receives a lot
of mail they don't expect to read.
