This is what I use - borrowed from Rado's muttrc shown on the wiki:
folder-hook . '\
[ ... ]
uncolor index "~x example.com" ;\
[ ... ] \
'
folder-hook mailbox '\
[ ... ]
color index black green "~x example.com" ;\
[ ... ] \
'
This highlights messages from me in the threads i've responded to, using
the colours i've shown above. Obviously you can chose the colours you
would like to use.
Hope that helps.
Jamie.
