Great,.. I was just about to bugzilla this kind of feature.. now 2
problems.. the Column takes to much space.. should use Icons instead
like the attachment etc.. or replace the Status icon.. for Call a phone 
etc..  It should be added as a task too so that I'm reminded that I have
to write/call/whatever.. and/or automaticaly change colour
to something that makes it stand out.. 
The way it is now I'll never see what I needed to reply to cause
as I said, the Forward-flags column is too big and obtrusive..
Great feature but not very good implementation.

That's the one that is too big..
