Yeah, you could also write a short display_filter which performs syntax checking or even some sort of compiling to pre-select and kill the really bad ones. But vim is also abled to detect some primitive syntax errors and color it. This is not possible with color patterns for mutt.

It should work so why not try it? Cheers, Rocco.
