Marco, this is what I do:
folder-hook . ' \
... ;\
uncolor index "~x kode5.net" ;\
... \
'
folder-hook mutt '\
... ;\
color index black green "~x kode5.net" ;\
... \
'
The first folder-hook is the default. It removes the coloured threading
in folders such as my inbox and others that are not mailing list
mailboxes or those which are not threaded, for whatever reason.
The second folder-hook, in this case for my mutt mailing list mailbox,
and the same is true for all other mailing list mailboxes, sets the
colour black on green on mails that have my domain in the messages that
have been followed up to in threads in which I have participated.
Forgive the line continuation but i have lots of other settings in my
folder-hooks and writing a single line for the entire hook would render
it unreadable.
The pattern ~(~something) is for doing things to messages within threads,
as someone suggested already. You could play with that a bit. But I
think my suggestion will work for you; obviously, use your own
hostname/domainname in the expression.
