According to the specifications of the messaging menu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu), the enveloppe icon should eventually mark emails and chat messages in different ways (blue or blue+small bubble). Therefore the issue mentioned in comment 9 is less critical than one may think. Personally I'd rather have all emails turning the icon blue by default and have an option in the preferences to enable the current filter so as to reduce the "noise" when needed. I believe others may find the current behavior confusing, especially if upgrading to Precise from an older release.
