Isn't the solution for TJ as simple as having a dedicated header column

priority setting, you just choose not to display it.

Oh, that's a very good idea. If I never have to see the "High Priority" flag, then I don't care how often it gets misused, but I still want to be able to use IMAP flags (and MailMate flags, ideally.) And it solves the problem that Bill identified about IMAP not changing headers.

A separate column for it would be great, if Benny agrees.

I think I got the current behavior from Apple Mail (just like the unread dot can hide reply/forward symbols). I know some users rely heavily on the priority flag (usually because it has some kind of accepted meaning within an organization). I'll note to look into separating them. If anyone has any objections then this is the time to share them :)

And if anyone should think otherwise: I personally ignore priority-flags.
