Show us the 'color body' lines from your muttrc, so we can check your syntax. > 5.

I don't have 1.5.x, but afaik the format of alternates hasn't changed (i.e., it's still a regular expression), it's just not a 'set' variable anymore. So, here you'd want something like alternates .*@.*domain\.com and the line from above should be alternates (user1@domain1\.com|user2@domain2\.com) > Thank you for your help.
