I like the new feature :), but I just have two observations(and didn't want to 'spam' the bug): 1) It is impossible to label spam as such without labeling all your mail which I am too lazy to do. What I mean is that all labels sort on the same side of no label. There should either be a "-1" label or else none should be "1"(or even 2) and one of the labels should be "0". This would be especially useful for newsgroups where as far as I can determine you can't delete messages.(Although now that I look at it this would also require inverting the defaults, so alternatively make none=5 and move Later to 6 and then shift all the numbers down one if necessary) 2) For a RFE, I think it would be cool to be able to label messages just by hitting a number 1 to 5 while the message is highlighted/in focus. Great job to whoever was responsible for this...
