Highlight specific messages in Mutt
Let’s say you belong to some high volume lists and generally get a load of email everyday.
You need a way to highlight important message. Using PATTERNS in your muttrc is an easy way to make that happen.
This pattern says if the message is (~f) from her@herdomain.com, AND it’s (~N) new, make it appear brightcyan in color in your index.
color index brightcyan black '~f her@herdomain.com ~N'
I wanted to make a snarky comment here about how normal people send flowers and geeks edit their configuration, but I think it’s really cool that you care enough about Shelly (aka “her”) to make sure her email shows up prominently.
But why wouldn’t you just use folders? I have a gazillion (1000x a cotillion) thunderbird folders.
My geek IS awesome!!!
Ha! Sounds like you deleted an email by accident. ;)
Good hack, though!
Also, a long long time ago at pa.net, silfreed said that “your inbox is only for humans!”; I would suggest that listmail is not human and you might want to try having only two inputs: =inbox and =bulk.
