Re: [Geary] Symbolic Icon

[Michael Gratton <mike vee net>]

Hey Stephen,

I think the updated icon works much better than the one I put together 
originally, so I've committed it to master for 0.12. As you say it can 
be refined further in the future if need be. The symbolic icon does get 
used for the main app icon if people are using the High Contrast theme, 
so it's good to get a slightly more interesting icon for that as well.

Thanks for your work! Having some variations on the original made it 
much easier to pick a better one.

//Mike
