Hi Marco,
Mutt is very capable with colors for many tasks. The capability to
color each item is very useful and I use it alot. However there is one
highly visible UI string that could use embedded color codes:
$status_format. I didn't see any patch, hint in the mutt source code or
description (googling) anywhere of how to get color (and perhaps bold
codes) embedded within the string.
Status lines are ideal places to use color to diferentiate and contrast
different data elements that are more or less important. I'm on a roll
now, having spent quite a bit of time to synchronize the configurations
of irssi and vim to use colors (with similar semantic meanings) within
their status strings to great effect.
Keep up the good work,
