With yellow, we always have a problem of contrast. It doesn't stand out
on the bright envelope.

The blurry "aura" around the + signs in the last row don't work well in
smaller sizes. The plain + signs in first row are much easier to read.

The circle doesn't mean anything to me, + sign is better. I would prefer
a star like used on some mail-new and folder-new icons, though.


It's interesting to note that Apple doesn't include anything but arrows
for Reply, Reply-All and Forward. Their New Message is a pen and paper:
