Hmm yes in case someones can't live without icons ;-), we have to use 
them correctly. Ie if we have to put priorities because of ui space 
constraints we have to think well the priority. I think that even with 
icons back, we could still use the bold font (this way if the unread 
icon is not visible you still have the bold font; note that in general 
the unread pixmap must certainly have the last priority, because in 
general an unread message won't be replied/flagged/deleted till you 
read it).
