Yes, that's possible, but it is impossible to distinguish between mail addressed to you, and mail address to you and others (+ and T in the default $to_chars). Ideally, I'd sort on scoring based on the recipients, but still maintained threading where there are several replies. > An alternative approach, purely to assist in finding the right email, > may be akin to this: I colour threads and messages _from_ me to stand > out: > > color index white default "(~P !~D) | (~v ~(~P !~D))" > > Obviously, this is more apt to folders of mailing lists; it shows me the > threads in which I have taken part.

Again, you cant distinguish between mail addressed solely to you, and mail addressed to you and others. It's not a very big deal, but it would be nice :-) Thanks for the reply anyway, I'll go about with some coloring+threading. -- Jostein
