Re: [sup-talk] color customization

Hi David,
thanks for this, I wanted to change the color of horizontal bar for quite
a while. It worked fine for me except in two places:

  * the space between the date and the sender name in the index view
    (where the star is when a message is starred) is still highlighted in
    green, but only when the message is _not_ starred. When the message is
    starred it is highlighted correctly.

    * when I view a message thread the bar is still in the wrong color when it is
    on regular body text. When it is on a quote it uses the correct
    colour.

I added the :highlight: property to all color entries there are.
Do you have the same issue or does it work for you?
