Sorry, I can't see why.
Couldn't we have two icons? One for the attachment, another one for watched?

Reassuming, we would have:

  1 icon for watched (no icon for unwatched)
  1 icon for flagged  (no icon for unflagged)
  1 icon for attachment (no icon for no attachment)
  color for read-unread (the icon could be abandoned).

with no need for multiple fonts and no drawbacks (as far as I can see).

Could someone please explain to me what's wrong with it?

(This is the exact behavior of Forte Agent, by the way.)

Thanx,
