Drifting off the off-topic thread... ;)

So, how do you have that setup?  I suppose the same way I do.  Let's 
see:

color header      white        default "^from: *
color header      white        default "^subject: *
color index       yellow  black "~x hank\.org"   # References
color index       green black "~i hank\.org"     # Message ID
color index       blue  black "~h In-Reply-To:.*hank\.org

I use imap, and I had those setup on my laptop (which is normally on my 
LAN).  I was away on a trip and forgot I had those set and, man, it was 
slow reading my mail.  I find that things like D. (Delete messages 
matching) are really slow in mutt due to those header checks.

I assume that's because the entire message is fetched from the imap 
server.  I don't suppose it's possible with imap to fetch just the 
message headers and save some of that bandwidth.

It's interesting how much spam I get that's color coded.
