Something I do, and there are multiple ways of doing this, is that I want to see mails addressed to me (period) highlighted. As long as you set alternates for the addresses that are 'you', you can color the index with color index color94 default ~p ~P is messages _from_ you, ~F is flagged messages and so on. http://mutt.org/doc/manual/#tab-patterns has all the patterns you can use. If you want them to really stand out, you can do # fg bg pattern color index white red ~p and they should be hard to miss. This is the same method you would use to highlight specific headers (like List-Id) in a different colour so they stand out. HTH, -- Kind regards, /S
