            Bug ID: 414782
           Summary: Change the priority order of the text color
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.9.3
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR

          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

The great thing with Kmail is that you can manage a work flow with the
'Important', 'read/unread' and 'todo' tags.

However, the priority currently in which tags should color the message text are
in my opinion wrong.

Currently, when you set a message as important, the text color is red.
When you set a message as unread, the text color is blue.
And when you set a message as todo, the text color is green (on my
configuration at least).

Unfortunately, when you set the todo tag on an unread message, well, you can
only see the text as blue, not green.
If you have an important message that imply that an action is necessary,
setting the todo tag will not help since the color will stay red, not green.
If you receive a message, starts to read it but mid-way find out that it's an
important message that you will have to postpone reading for later, set in
unread again and set the important tag, no luck, the message color will stay
blue.

So currently the tag precedence are unread > important > todo.

I think it would be more useful to have the following precedence : todo >
important > unread.
