+1 for sure!

I was quite surprised Font Awesome didn't already have any icon(s) suitable for "read" and "unread".

:+1:

+1

how has this been open so long without being added?

@vivaladan maby cuz this request doesnt have enough votes ?

+1

For now I suppose I'll have to add a class that'll make my read messages dimmer than my unread ones. A separate icon would be appreciated still, however!

+1 for the icon and the request made in Mar/2013!

+1

+1

I'd also +1 this but it seems that almost 3 years in that the folks who make font-awesome have no desire to add this icon.

Anyone graphically inclined up for making a fork of Font-Awesome? I'm sure we've got several hundred developers here who would rather use that fork than the primary site just for that one icon.

+2!!

+1 please !!!

+1

+1 must be a reason to not have made one in all this time a reply would be appreciated I'm sure!

+1 - reason for non-response might be that the icon is a vital icon that allows to distinguish between opened and unopened emails - maybe the developers don't open their emails. Also we could try and get more upvotes by using social media sharing

+1 !! still need this years later

Same style, but with the letter flap open and a document half pulled out perhaps?

example icon

^ Some thing like this, obviously following the more rounded FA style.

+1

I got notified about this link (https://github.com/AndreLGava/font-awesome-extension) on this thread but don't see it here. This may help some people here until FA decides to merge it.

Nice... You should offer them to the Original FA project.
Thanks

Hello guys

I love font awesome, but some icons that we need take a lot of time to be
added to font awesome, so I decided to create an extenssion to make it easy
, if you would like to use them , you can download this at
https://github.com/AndreLGava/font-awesome-extenssion. fa-enveloper-open
and fa-envelope-open-o was an icon that i used. If there are any problem
please create an issue on the GitHub project

He should do a pull, update and submit it back. Actually anyone could probably do that now that he's got it put together.

Has anyone managed to get that extension to work?

I'm trying to convert it to sass, but am having trouble understanding how it works as an extension.
The css seems to just override the fa- classes, _replacing_ font awesome with font-awesome-extension (rather than extending it).

Why hasn't this simple (yet important) icon been added in all this time?

and it's a better choice than all the brands that nobody even knows

Created new request along the lines of what Othyn was saying, but called it fa-invitation and fa-invitation-o

fa-envelope-open and fa-envelope-open-o

From my request/proposal yesterday: fa-envelope-text and fa-envelope-text-o (edit: renamed my submission per feedback)

Reposting here, just in case:

@devou33 I don't have the existing closed envelope icon in front of me, do these matched the existing closed envelope icon?

What I'm looking for is simply: closed envelope if the message is not read, and open if it is read -- but they must match to look right.

Unfortunately, for much-too-long and for apparently no-good-reason, we've only had the closed envelope, so I've had to use color (dark/light) to represent read and unread messages.

Would be a good addition to the Web Application Icons!

Could really use this one.

I have currently removed the entire function of "marking as read" just because I am missing this icon :(
