# "Note: new email is detected by comparing the last modification time to the last access time. Utilities
# like biff or frm or any other program which accesses the mail box might cause Mutt to never detect new
# email for that mail box if they do not properly reset the access time. Backup tools are another common
# reason for updated access times." There is apparently no way to get Mutt to honour new flags (N) on
# messages, and treat those as actually being new.

# Colouring
# ---------
# Used to dislike higher colours (over color7), maybe because of what $TERM is set to.
# Sometimes the 'bright' prefix would give the high colour, as though by adding 8.
# Unfortunately it also made the font bold at the same time. But the higher colours
# seem to be working.

## apparently not called when message changes, so use explicit rules for other:

# from me, quote other odd
