I am getting more and more ((quasi) spam) email (e.g. conference abstract deadline emails that have their use) that sets their priority/tag to important and will then show up with red text and a red background in the message lists. Because the tag is added as an email header to the email, it is not possible to remove it in the client.

Is there a possibility to turn off or better, ignore, the message priorities/tags of senders? If not (I think not) could this be considered as a feature for future releases? E.g. by adding an untag xyz tag so that "removing" tags works when emails have a tag that can apparently not be stripped from the email headers (which is a good thing, it preserves the original message).

After all it is me, not the email sender, who should determine whether an email is important.

Best regards,


Tjeerd

These are set by the sender. Since this capability is built into the email specifications and an email count would be designed to honour them it's open to abuse. I don't know of a way to ignore the setting; that's not to say they can't be disabled. Possibly there is a setting in the Config Editor. But as you have identified, it's not a "tag" in the way that Thunderbird uses the word so isn't amenable to the tagging management in Thunderbird.

If in your situation the priority setting only ever appears in junk mails then it may be worth the effort to set up a filter to act on it. You may have to set up a custom filter event to identify the appropriate message header field.
