I wasn't very interested in being able to do underlined colors until I applied the patch; it's pretty cool. Is something like this going to be in 1.4.0?

Try the following patch. It's a hack that lets you use underline when you
prefix one of the color names with an underscore:
color _brightred yellow
should get you underlined bold read fg on yellow bg.

Still, that's probably better than nothing. Maybe I'll go that route. Anyway, thanks! --Daniel T.

Thanks! It can't be done. Mono attributes are not currently available when color attributes are being used. However, Mike Schiraldi has a patch to make just the indicator bar able to do inverse even when in color mode.

How can I underline the current index entry?
I hope this isn't a silly question, I've tried reading in the manual and fiddling on my own. I use different colors to mark off different types of email in mutt. I also use mutt in an xterm (or gome-terminal, or whatever) that's the size of the screen (on a Debian unstable box, if that matters). So the problem is, I don't want the current email in the index to be highlighted with a different color, because then it makes it harder to tell what kind of message it is. But I don't want to use the little arrow (->) indicator, because the screen is so wide that I can't trace all the way across it and keep track of which line I'm on very easily. So I'd really like to be able to *underline* the current entry, or perhaps make it bold, or something like that. But I haven't been able to find a way to do this. If the mono settings could somehow work in conjunction with the color settings--but in all my experimentation this has never worked right. Could someone point me to a place to find out more about this, or give me a pointer or two, or tell me it can't be done? Thanks! --Daniel T. P.S. Thanks for a great program, by the way. Mutt's marvelous!
