[MlMt] search for different Flags

[Alain Israel]

My comment will not answer your question, but it reflects several months 
of using colored flags and tags. My impression is that tags are more 
useful : they can be used to sort the messages, they can be searched for 
throughout all mailboxes, they are recognized by most servers (so 
transferable from one computer to the other (except with Exchange), 
unlike colored flags), they allow a relatively easy visualization of who 
sent what, …
This being said, a more convenient combination of keys to change the 
flag color would still be useful.
