<div class="plaintext"><blockquote><p dir="auto">You can tweak the color of the text for messages that are “flagged” so they stand out clearly. There are instructions in the “Hidden Preferences” section on how to go about this by adding the file, ~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Styles.plist and enabling MmMessageColorsEnabled using the command-line.<br>
