Yep, tested it and it worked. However I found some other interesting
effects. If I remove more than 8 lines of color commands it works. If I
remove e.g. 9 lines in the middle of the file, it doesn't work. Here I
have to remove more than 16 lines to make it work.
Furthermore I inserted more color commands (copying existing and
modyfing the commands) and more text into the mbox. All color combis
worked, but not the red ones.
If I change the order of the commands (putting all red and brightred
foreground colors on top), red/red and brightred/red works, but not
yellow/red and brightyellow/red. Now i putted all (bright)yellow color
commands on top and noticed that the "new" last color commands with
(bright)$COLOR/red scheme are not interpreted. So I moved all
(bright)$COLOR/red commands to the top of the file. But this had no
effect.
IMHO this all is unexpected behaviour. Worth a flea report?
