I've winnowed my failing pattern down to
~( !~>(~P) )
which is not accepted. A bare:
!~>(~P)
is accepted.
What I'm trying to do is colour yellow messages in threads which are
either:
- flagged
or:
- personal, and not replied, and not from %info, and without an
immediate child from me
This is part of a larger pattern which tries to colour "bare" messages
like the above and also collapsed threads which contain a message
matching the above.
As an aside, in the patterns section of the manual ~Q is described as
"replied", but seems to mean "has the replied flag". Conversely, ~>(~P)
means replied-to-by-me, which is a topological test based on
parent-child relationships and ignored the "r" flag.
I'm just modifying my reply macros to preemptively set the "r" flag on
the source message, which feels a little like a hack. (My replies spin
off an editor in tmux so that they can be detached, and the spawned mutt
doesn't know about the source message directly, so it cannot tie setting
the flag to actually dispatching the message later.)
