I finally got around to figuring out how to do this; after seeing it in some screengrabs from Rasterman and the like. It highlights entries in Mutt's message index, according to a given regexp. very cool, very useful stuff. I *really* wish they had included it in the basic configuration file, as I think it's one of Mutt's coolest features. dunno why I haven't seen this stuff more often. add these lines to your .muttrc, and change them to taste. also check mutt's manual.txt, section 4.2, for more information on built-in patterns.
