Thanks to bogofilter and Spamhaus, I see well under 1% of the spam which people attempt to put into my mailbox, so I don't really care whether spammers abuse the Priority field. I don't find that non-spammers abuse it all that much. I don't think most people "mark *all* messages 'high priority'," although I agree that those who do are rude. In short, I find it useful to be able to see the priorities my correspondents have marked messages with, so I find the add-on useful. Your mileage may vary, of course. This is a feature that many people have asked for over the years here, on MozillaZine, and on GetSatisfaction.com, so it's clearly something that some people want. >Jonathan, if you manage to figure out an easy way to CHANGE the priority >flag of a RECEIVED message, that would be FANTASTICALLY USEFUL! There's already an add-on that supports this: https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/priority-switcher/ _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
