The colour is probably in the index file. Like the "flag" flag. If you
export the message, these flags will be lost. However, as long as the
message is in TB, the flag and the colour will be shown in the message
list, because TB reads the index file, and this element that indexes
our message also carries the flags. So the flags are assigned to the
message. ;-)

They are enough; they are more. More work that is. For some reason, I
don't have an algorithm why I want this message yellow or that message
pink, it might have something to do with the contents. Or colours
might just be my way of marking messages with different numbers of
attachments.

If you just hit a button or navigate to a menu item and set the colour
in a fly just sounds faster to me than creating a filter. ;-)

If, OTOH, you colour-code all messages to a particular recipient,
then you would create a filter, of course. But the menu item won't
hurt you either.
