But in this case it's nice to have the "#" lines distinguished from the ">" lines by being a different color, isn't it? Maybe the solution is to make it an option to go by _depth only_ when coloring quotes. Or to be able to group some quote prefixes together as being "equivalent" for coloring purposes. But it looks to me like Mutt doesn't really know the depth of a quote as it works now. For example, if you have a message with _only_ "second-level" or higher quote prefixes (say "> > "), Mutt still seems to start with the first-level color. -- John
