After thinking about it a bit, I'm not so sure this is the best idea after
all for the pager-headers, since it would make it hard to have (as is
currently the case) an entire header line appear in one color to distinguish
it from the others (for example to have the "Subject:" line stand out in its
own color from the rest of the headers.
You can pattern-match on an "X-" header, for example, or on "From:",
"Subject:" etc, but I don't know how you'd be able to match on or define a
color for the *value* of a header (the text to the right of the colon),
since you don't know what it's going to be.
The way mutt handles this now is preferable, I think, to slrn's
article-header coloring, which is less flexible.
