Oh, no, that's one of the most important! Those are the suckers that 
chew up a chunk of my IMAP quota, until I expunge them (`commit 
changes').

Another possibility (one that averts the need for someone to design 
some new icons!) is to use a single untitled column with two cell 
renderers, and show the two highest priority icons (attachment being 
the highest, to match its current status of having its own column). 
That uses more of the space, and the column would be only one icon wide 
if no message needs to show two.  However, any icon except the paper 
clip would appear sometimes in the first slot, and sometimes in the 
second.
