If what you mean is highlight messages in the index with some kind of
contrasting color based on the Subject (or whatever), yes you can do it. Just
add something like the following to your muttrc:
color index <foreground color> <background color> <Expression to match on>
For instance, the following will highlight in red any messages with "mutt" in
the subject:
color index red default "~s mutt"
The following will make all new messages bold blue (kind of like some other
email clients you may know :-):
color index brightblue default "~N"
The possibilities are virtually endless (given the possible color permutations
of course.) Also, don't forget the "limit" function (normally bound to lower
case L: 'l'), which can be used to only show message matching criteria similar
to the expressions you can use in "color index." In fact, that is the main
point: learn about the expressions that you can use for message matching, so
that you can get the full highlighting capabilities. I guess that was your main
problem. Be sure to read section 4.2. Patterns, of the Mutt manual to learn
about this. Press <F1> in Mutt, then / to search, then "4.2." This
will take you right to the section I'm talking about.
