Don't agree with this.  You can already tell whether a message is  
seen/unseen by whether the text is bold or not.  We only have a  
limited amount of real estate to work with.  Additionally, a seen icon  
is one more icon we have to load from the remote server.

I would prefer that all the status/icon code be rewritten so that we  
only have one column for all this data.  This would mean that we can't  
display the images via CSS, but I think that is a valid tradeoff  
because the current layout is less than desirable (since you can only  
show 1 flag at a time for several of those items).  Allowing more than  
one flag to be displayed becomes even more important in the future  
when we implement the ability to display custom flags.
