Description of problem: When applying a tag to an email, it shows up in the list of messages with a color. However, if two tags are applied, the color is removed. This makes it difficult to locate tagged emails at a glance. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-3.0.0-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tag an email with one tag: it is colored in the message list 2. Tag an email with a second tag: the coloration goes away 3. Actual results: The message is no longer colored Expected results: It should be colored with at least one of the tags. Additional info: It would also be nice if the message could be colored with BOTH tags (i.e. divide the characters by the number of tags applied, and make sections with each color)
Thanks for a bug report. It was hard to decide which color to use, or how to indicate more tags ina fashin way, so the idea of picking a color when more than one tag is set was dropped. Right click above the message list headers (where is From, Subject, and so on) and add Labels column to the view, so you'll see all set labels on the message. It was decided in upstream to be a solution for your use case.
With all due respect, this is a cop-out. Mozilla's Thunderbird at least will pick one color out of the set and use that. The entire POINT of having colored labels is so that it's easy to identify them at a glance. Requiring an extra line of black-on-white text to find labels is pointless. Why bother having colored labels at all?
