+While I'm sure this can be bikeshod to death, I do have one legitimate\r
+concern (and one illegitimate).\r
+\r
+I completely agree with what you said on IRC, though, that setting\r
+this to non-nil is more about making this capability more discoverable\r
+to new users than trying to come up with the perfect faces.\r

+\r
+As much as I would like this, many terminals don't visually\r
+distinguish between the default face and the default face in bold.\r
+\r
+> + ("flagged" :foreground "red"))\r
+\r
+Red is pretty universally used to indicate danger or a serious\r
+condition, while "flagged" is simply supposed to draw attention. I\r
+would say blue as a neutral and distinct indicator, but it also has\r
+poor visibility (I used to use blue, but found that when scanning my\r
+mail, I would habitually skip over flagged messages because they were\r
+dark, which was the opposite of what I wanted). Personally I've\r
+settled on yellow; it's visually distinct enough to be easily\r
+noticeable and bright enough that I don't skip over it, though it\r
+obviously wouldn't work on a light background.\r
