[MlMt] Colored Messages: Styles.plist being ignored

[aisrael]

I use coloring in a slightly different manner  :

I show in attachment the Inbox, which I want to organise by topics. For 
each topic I attach a tag, then create a smart mailbox for each 
tag/topic, and apply color rules for each smart mailbox. Then I want to 
keep the mails corresponding to each topic grouped together : as it is 
impossible to sort by colours (at least I think), I attach a flag to 
each category (trying as much as possible to fit the flag color with the 
selected colouring, but this is not an obligation), and sort by flags. 
This results in the attached screen copy. Only small limitation : there 
are only 7 flags, so this limits to 7 topics.

PS : this looks a bit like a Thunderbird mailbox.
