Actually I'm quite serious. Your flip response is actually wrong, if
you stop and think about the reason for using these different
statuses.

Flagging is to identify a message for some reason, either because it
is important or because it needs attention.

Parking is to prevent a message from being deleted. If it needs to be
flagged, you would use the flag, you park it so that when all the
other messages age into deletion that one stays.

Maybe with attachments, but you have flagging available to mark any
attachment you want to come back to. If the attachment is important
you probably already saved it (if you don't already store attachments
separately). What priority the sender gave a message isn't very
important to the recipient. If it's important it can be flagged.

As for color groups, I don't use them, so I have no idea whether one
would need for a folder to show there are some from that group there,
maybe you are right.
