Description
Currently, in a view that contains both outgoing and incoming mail, the icons are identical for an email to a contact and an email from that contact.
I'd like to request that the to email, while remaining recognizably similar, has some kind of difference added. For instance, it could be colour-desaturated, or it could be overlaid with, say, an arrow.

Research direction
Start with the issue screenshots and locate the Android view that displays outgoing and incoming mail icons. Compare the existing rendering for messages to and from a contact, then choose and implement a visually distinct treatment for outgoing mail. Done means the two directions are recognizably different without losing the existing icon style.
