[MlMt] Highlighting the entire email "entry line" in the mailbox?

[Dave C]

Yes, Thank you Billy and Glenn. I corrected the common error of not 
scrolling the code text to see the whole line. I’ve entered the 
command (no errors this time!) and created the Styles.plist folder.

I’m not sure of what I need to enter in the folder for what I want to 
do.

I want to color the text (and if possible, the background of that text) 
of the 1 email line in any mailbox. Not based on criteria other than 
that I’ve flagged the email. Bold text would also be nice.

 From this sample:

https://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preference

I’m having trouble creating the Styles.plist file. I’ve used the 
Terminal vim command to get vi running and I paste this (see below) into 
the file and exit, succeeding in crating the file but (again!) I get the 
error message from Terminal that it doesn’t have the proper format.

The example doesn’t include correct headers (<plist>, </plist>, etc.) 
and who knows what else that anyone doing this *should* know. (c;

This is what I *think* needs to be the core of the Styles.plist file to 
do what I want (of course, correct me if I’m wrong):

{   styles = (
	{   type = keyword;
			keyword = '\\Flagged';
			color = "#00FF00"; // choosing my own color, of course
			fontStyle = "bold";
		},
	);
}

Thanks,
Dave
