You can use simple patterns to color the index For example, I have: color index brightyellow default ~P to make messages sent by me yellow in the index. Given that, you could probably use these two simple patterns, though doesn't look like they can make use of $alternates directly. ~c EXPR messages carbon-copied to EXPR ~t EXPR messages addressed to EXPR I am not sure if putting a complicated expression there would significantly slow down loading the mssage inbox. w
