A wrapper for mutt? Which generates a line like this:
color index yellow default "~f (feefee|geegee|heehee) ~N"
Again we fall into the "things too rich for mutt" category.
Idea: how about:
an "eval" which ran a mutt string, eg:
eval `cmd-to-make-the-above-color-command`
BTW, to make an OR like the above one of my shell scripts goes:
ptn=`echo "$*" | tr ' ' '|'`
egrep "($ptn)" ...
i.e. echo the words, turn space into '|', put in () and use.

to get them a-smilin' more than watching the 10:00 news and grabbing
