I imagine this has already been thought of, but one option would be to simply let the mono attribute work on top of the color one. Then the desired behavior from this original posting could be to set the mono to none, and not specify the color attribute, of the indicator--which would be understood by mutt to mean 'leave the colors alone, but apply the color attribute "none" on top of that'. This would also allow using underlining to mark the indicator (which is something I had asked about in a previous post). Of course, that may not fit other situations--I don't know. And naturally, no complaints. Just an idea. Complaints should always be accompanied by patches, eh? --Daniel T.
