Check out `color' in the manual (you'll also want to see section 4.2.
`Patterns'). This should do the trick:
color index brightyellow blue "~C ^lm@"

I have the same habit too (though I get substantially less messages a
day). ;) You might also like mutt's `limit' command (I just love it).
Also, sorting by `threads' and then by `to' helps with mailing lists a
lot (I wish there were an option to sort by `list'...)
