(It's the same icon on the toolbar for replying to a message). It's displayed in the same location as the unread mail icon, which seems a logical place to put it.

See also issue #4963 on emphasizing the font. True. That requires #4293, however. Also, that only indicates that you've responded at some point in the conversation. I guess I was thinking the indicator would display when you've responded to the most recent email (i.e., with #4293, your message was the newest one in the conversation). --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 20:22 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 4391 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4391 Unknown version " in product geary.

It was pointed out on the mailing list that marking a message as forwarded is also useful. Following the train of thought in earlier comments, the flag could be shown in the email itself, but as far as the conversation list, we barely have room for the icons we're displaying already, so it probably makes sense only to show one flag for the most recent message, giving precedence to answered over forwarded (unless someone can give a reason otherwise).
IMAP doesn't actually support a flag for forwarded messages, but there might be a common extension flag out there for it? Would need some research. In any case, work like this is now covered by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/943, so closing this in favour of that.
