mutt config tip for reading log files



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|Saturday|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?

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to 
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
