In the latter case, I am changing a property of the message as the
sender sent it, right? What, if I want to still see the Priority as the
sender sent it?
What about the average user, who doesn't like "senders being able to
make messages red in their INBOX" (using the priority), and who don't
know how to use filters to undo it?
