While at it something like

https://openclipart.org/detail/26557/check-mark

tends to be more readable than

http://rame.altervista.org/cmbasicsvg/mark.png

especially when overlaid on other icons. The reason is that with most
of the icon set rectangular due to the envelopes the slanted and curved
shape is easy to distinguish.

Also the envelopes with dark sides like this 

http://rame.altervista.org/cmbasicsvg/mark_read.png

are way too distracting as background for additional icons making them
hard to read. Using more uniform envelope like

http://rame.altervista.org/cmbasicsvg/unread.png

would be probably better.

Another nit is using pens slanted both left and right. I see no reason
why they could not be all slanted the same way.

Thanks

Michal
