This isn't surprising since moving the message moves the message to another IMAP folder on the server. TB! sync's with this IMAP folder which holds no information about colour group assignment, a purely local feature for TB!. As a result, there is no colour group assignment when you check the message in the other folder. You may propose then that RL implements a system when the colour group is locally reassigned when the message is moved. I'd wonder why bother since it really isn't worth the hassle. If you fire up another TB! client on another machine and access the IMAP account, all colour groups assigned via the initial TB! installation will not be seen. What's the point then of using an attribute that doesn't carry across to other IMAP clients? If you use a single client, then why use IMAP then? TB! needs to implement the added message attributes that are standard for the IMAP protocol, so that when you label the message, ThunderBird will show it, Mulberry will show it, and last but not least, your other TB! installations at other locations will show it. I'd personally disagree with the proposal that they commit efforts at making colour groups work better when it's only local. -- -= Allie =- .....
