The recent discussion on counting attachments was a revelation -- what a fantastic feature, which I hadn't realized mutt could do!
I set up an attachments definition: attachments +A */.* attachments -A text/.* attachments -I */.* and then set up a color for index lines with one or more non-text attachments: color index red white "~X 1-" That was great, but I found I had a problem with, for instance, messages that were new (which I'd normally show with blue text) AND had attachments (I want the white background). I couldn't find any documentation on how to combine two patterns; http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#patterns has an excellent list of patterns, while http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#complex-patterns tells how to match a message that has pattern1 OR pattern2 ... but it doesn't give a way to match a message that has both pattern1 AND pattern2. I tried: "~N ~X 1-" ~N ~X 1- "~N && ~X 1-" "~N" "~X 1-" but they all gave syntax errors. But along the way, I accidentally made a typo that I never would have thought to try, but it gave me something that actually works: "~N ~X 1- Note the double quote at the beginning but no matching close quote. It even works multiple times: color index brightmagenta white "~F ~X 1- color index brightblue white "~N ~X 1- Is this a bug? Is there a better syntax for messages that match multiple patterns? Even better, is there a way I could have a rule that sets just the foreground or just the background? E.g. if I could say color index brightblue default "~N" color index default white "~X 1-" and a message that was both new and had attachments would take the foreground color from the first rule but the background color from the second rule? In practice, what that does is ignore the first rule and apply the second rule to any message that matches both. So instead of "default" I'd need something that led mutt not to set a color, but allow the colors from other rules to apply. I'm using Mutt 1.14.6 on Ubuntu. ...Akkana
