[Dapper] Evolution's "Not Junk" icon is not themed using Human

Bug Description

At the risk of being considered picky, I just wanted to report that when using the default Human theme all the default icons in evolution are substituted by the theme's icons as expected, except for the "Not Junk" Icon, which appears as the default "GNOME" icon.

Considering that the "Junk" and "Not Junk" actions are opposite and on the default icon theme their only difference is that the "Not Junk" icon theme has a small red cross at the bottom corner, it seems that on the Human theme this consistence is broken.

That is, the "Junk" and "Not Junk" icons are completely different in this case, which leads to think that they are not related to each other -which is not true.

Junk is OK now, inbox/outbox/send however not :)

Ok, I have been processing some spam today and I got to confirm that the "Not Junk" icon IS now themed.

However, since the themed icons for "Junk" and "Not Junk" are completely different, the issue about consistency in the Human icons for Evolution still remains.

I believe that if the icons show opposite actions their representation should also reflect this fact. In this way, they can provide a more intuitive hint of their functionality to the user.

For example like in the default GNOME theme -as I was pointing on my first post-, where "Junk" and "Not Junk" are the same image, only that "Not Junk" shows a little red cross indicating negation.

Another example of such opposite or complementary actions and their icon representations are the Send/Receive buttons, which are handled correctly in the Human theme -that is, represented in an intuitive form. Both icons are envelopes, the only difference of which being the direction and colour of the bottom arrow.

Um, Junk and Not Junk are completely different? Do you have a screenshot of that? For me it's just a 'red X' on the 'Not Junk' thing. Apart from that: please keep this bug about the Junk icons only. It's to confusing to follow up.

These are the Junk/Not Junk icons in Evolution using the GNOME icon theme.

Here are the screenshots, one for the default GNOME theme and one for the Human theme.

About staying on the Junk/Not Junk icons topic. I'm sorry if my last post was confusing. I mentioned the Send/Receive buttons not as an issue but as an example.

Anyway, I realise that if this bug is an issue, it is only a minor one, which does not affect the Evolution package directly. Should I better report this to ubuntu-artwork instead?

My buttons are both from tango, so no problem here.

Can you try with newest evolution and tango-icon-theme installed additionally (ubuntu-desktop should pull it in - which is default)?
