Description Alexander van Loon 2011-07-28 09:19:32 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Currently in Kontact 4.6 if a message is marked as important or as an action item, thetext of the subject, sender and date in the message list are made green. Other e-mail clients use icons – such as the exclamation mark is used for important messages by Evolution – to distinguish mails marked as such in the message list. The problem with the green text is that the text becomes white, just like the black text of normal messages, when they are selected. So if I select a normal mail and a mail marked as important, it's impossible to see the difference unless deselected. That's why I think KMail should use icons to distinguish mails marked as important or action item from normal mails.

Try a different Theme for the message list.
