I've asked several of my users what my site needs most, and they all told me that it needs more icons. I couldn't agree more, the only icon's I have are the table sort ones and the bullet points.

Privatemsg can really easily integrate these icons into the core for ease of use for the users, since I think everyone would like to have a better user interface. The guidelines say that the icons should be from Tango, so I did some looking.
Really, it should be easy to add, but there are a lot of places to put them.

I would like to see...
"mail-message-new" (actions) used in the "compose" tab and on the profile's "write private message"
"document-open" (actions) used in the "manage folders" tab
"internet-mail" (apps) used in the "list" tab and possibly in front of the "inbox" menu button
"process-stop" (actions) used in the "block messages" profile link.
"address-book-new" (actions) used in the "contact list" tab. This icon doesn't fit. There is no regular address book icon in tango, just a "new" one. The yellow circle is really easy to remove, but I don't know if that counts as being from tango.

Would also like to see this kind of 'iconography' either built-in or as an option?

Issue summary: View changes

I don't think this is something that needs to be baked into the module. Icons can be added to private message via CSS. Closing this issue as it has been inactive for over 3 years.
