Hack Mail for more sensible priority flags

messagepriority_iconMail’s priority flags feature can be hard to find.

And even when you do find them, the defaults are rather odd. The single exclamation mark should mark a higher priority than “normal”.

Last year, Christopher Hewitt posted an alternative set of icons for this on macOSXHints. You can get the tiff files and read the instructions for installing them in Christopher’s tip.

(Thanks to Frieda, who let me know about this tip. It’s not only Mail Stamps Toolbar icons that 10.4.6 has overwritten. It’s overwritten all the images in Mail’s Resources file with the defaults. Frieda found that her smarter icons from Christopher’s tip were gone, and had to reinstall them.)hacks, Apple GUI, priority, mail.app, apple mail
