[MlMt] Custom Styling on Message List

Hi Paul,
I don’t know if anyone addressed this, but I accidentally ran across 
it, so here is the solution.

You are right, Styles.plist is deprecated. Instead, create a smart mail 
that captures the relevant emails (by tag, for example). Then, right 
click on the mailbox and select the color you want to use (under the 
dropdown menu item “color”). Also, be sure to enable “Use Color in 
Message List”. Now, the messages in the mailbox should be colored *no 
matter where* they show up, for example, in your inbox.

At least, that works for me. I haven’t tried what happens if a message 
is captured by mailboxes with different colors! Hopefully it’s a 
rainbow.

Zvi
