Yeah, you can do some great stuff with that. My own settings do the following: foreground colors: - mails to me are foreground yellow (even in my non-list boxes...helps make spam easy to visually identify) - mails from me are foreground green - mails in a thread I've participated in are foreground magenta - mails to me from a known alias are foreground cyan (I use this and my alias list to basically flag "interesting" people) - mails from certain particular people get their own color background colors: - normal mails are background default - new mails invert the regular colors (so new mails to me are background yellow, foreground default) - tagged mails are background white - flagged mails are background red a few special cases that override other colors: - messages bigger than 10k are red on default - deleted mails are brightblack on default My wife looks at my mail desktop and thinks I'm nuts, but it saves a heckuva lot of unnecessary scanning.
