[MlMt] Colored Messages: Styles.plist being ignored

Sven,

Coloring of messages in the message window works great for me in every 
version since r6015 onwards. I believe recent changes have affected 
coloring, but here’s how I color messages by the mailbox and/or 
source. If you want to individually color messages or color by Subject 
or other parameters then I’m unsure if this method will work for you 
or if it’s what you seek:
1. Select Source mailbox or inbox you wish to color,
2. Adjust the coloring on the Source or Inbox by selecting the desired 
*color*  from the drop down menu (CTL+select) pop-out menu.
3. Similarly select the option to “Use color in message” at the 
bottom of the colors in that menu.
4. Rinse and repeat above for all Source or other SmartMailboxes 
desired.
5. Check to see that contents are correctly colored.

Attaching a sample of the colored messages for reference as they appear 
in All Messages. Note that all lines in each message are colored as 
viewed in the message window(s).

Good luck.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
