Creating customized marks would be most helpful for me too. While you are at it: let \
them be defined via a "marking editor" which allow to set (1) name, (2) icon, (3) \
keyboard shortcut, *and* (4) font highlighting for all marks. For example, one could \
want to have all titles of mails from ones girlfriend displayed in red text ;-) I \
guess there must be some trade-offs when deciding between various font highlights \
(maybe the order of the marks in the mark editor could be the key for choosing the \
dominating font setting, and, of course, there can be marks that do not affect the \
font). 

When the number of possible marks increases further, there should be an extra column \
for the markings. Some main classifiers could still be in front: the tags for "reply" \
and "forward", as well as the highest rated of the other tags (e.g. "spam" would be \
very high, and "girlfriend" might be above "work").

For setting the marks, one could also have a checkbox-like interface ("check-icons", \
faded out when deactivated). This could go into the fancy header (displaying even \
faded out icons in the listings would be spoiling the one-look classifying effect too \
much).

The enhanced marking will also be of significance for future searching and \
structuring features. The tag-based approach replaces the folder-based structuring in \
some other areas already (e.g. when managing digicam images). Markings (= tags = \
classifications) would then also be an important thing for sharing in Kontact.

Keep up the great work!
