Thunderbird's messaging menu highlight helps some people but not many

Bug description:
By default, when new emails arrive in Thunderbird, they *sometimes* highlight
the messaging menu. As described by Chris Coulson, a message highlights the
menu if:
"- The message is sent with high-priority OR
- The message is flagged (by a filter) OR
- The message is addressed directly to the recipient (eg, not CC) AND the
message is not low prioirty AND the message wasn't automated AND the message is
not from a mailing list."
This is good behavior for some people, but not for others, e.g. ViViD:
"In my personal case, no message received through Thunderbird lacks
importance. Since I hide the launcher by default, many mails go
unnoticed for a time and I find myself randomly mousing over the
launcher to check mails."
To suit more people, Thunderbird should contain a setting for which
messages highlight the messaging menu. One option should be to
highlight messages if they are from one of your contacts.
This setting needs design, and then proposing (and maybe implementing)
upstream.
