The automatic coloring by priority will obviously
have to be removed, otherwise the label-based
colors wouldn't work. It would be possible to get
the old behavior by setting up filters to label
messages by priority, but you wouldn't have to.
The whole point of the labels feature is to give
the user control over how message coloring works,
instead of having it tied to a specific header.
