Hi,

If you are using mutt as your MUA then try this line in your .muttrc
color body brightred brightdefault
"(warning|alert|caution|fail(ure|ed))"

That should be all on one line with a space after brightdefault

Now when you view peoples log files in your mail and either
warning alert caution fail failure or failed appear they will show up as
bright red. Well, actually if they appear anywhere in your mail body
then they will show up as bright red.

For some reason, they also blink for me but not sure why.
But the


For an added bonus
# Week Days - long form:
color body brightgreen blue
'\<(Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Satur day|Sunday)\>'

# Week Days - short form:
color body blue green "\\<(Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun)\\>"

The Week Days - long form: one should all be on one line with a space
after the blue.

As you can see there are interesting possibilities with highlighting
certain interesting words or patterns.

Can Icedove do that?

... always thought it would be nice if the mutt website had a collection
of coloring themes same as vim, eg. .. just so new users could get
started with minimal headaches .. and come back to it after the dust
settles.

I downloaded a few useful samples from some place or other but they are
not very sophisticated and I've never really had time to tweak further.

Thanks,
cga

Much appreciated, now I can read logs in style.

But how can you do this for log messages only?

For instance, I'd like to do the same thing for diffs I receive
by mail (those which are sent by a Subversion server), but things
like

color body brightred black '^-.*'

wouldn't be nice with other messages.

I thought about setting $display_filter in a message-hook to use
a colorization script (such as my tdiff script), but this has no
effect. Perhaps Mutt resets the color due to its own colorization.

can you use auto_view for this? I've got it set for viewing html email
through links and it works great. maybe you could setup an auto_view
for diffs and run it through just about any text viewer with a
specified color scheme.

Not possible: the diffs are in the body of the message (text/plain).

Something like:

----[ '/home/michelle.konzack/.mutt/hook-folder' ]---------------------
#
# folder-hook [!]<pattern> <command>
#

folder-hook . 'uncolor body *'

folder-hook BTS_debian 'source ~/.mutt/colors_diff'

folder-hook ML_debian.changes 'source ~/.mutt/colors_debian'
folder-hook ML_debian.devel 'source ~/.mutt/colors_diff'
folder-hook ML_debian.l10n 'source ~/.mutt/colors_po'

folder-hook ML_linux.linux-kernel 'source ~/.mutt/colors_diff'
----8<-----------------------------------------------------------------

another thing is ~/.mutt/colors_xf86log :-)

Files attached.
