Thank, David. Neat trick.
Indeed. A variation of this would be to provide different colors for
different people. For example, feegee would be yellow, but heegee would
be red.

Ack, yes, I do believe that would be going to far to keep me lazy. g I guess I was just trying to save myself from having to add a few lines each time I need to color that family. Plus, the .muttrc isn't as fit as he used to be. I figured it was worth a shot. Thanks for lending a hand. -- Brian Clark | Avoiding the general public since 1805!

How about:

heehee
$ cat dynacolor.sh
#!/bin/sh
awk '{printf(color index yellow default \~f %s ~N\\n, $1);}' addrs.txt

El neato. That's super! I had to wrap %s in escaped double quotes, but
exactly what I'm looking for. And I guess I've learned about `source'
now. *Sigh*

I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.

It's never too late to panic.
