Not quite - at the moment I'm applying both flags to everyone, regardless.
And I thought it would give our unixy Outlook users a clue if they saw
a "fake" x-subliminal-header: text in the x-message-flag ... more likely
that they wouldn't immediately figure out how it was done ...

But you're right, I probably shouldn't be sending it out to "everyone" ...
