Re: Highlight email headers with different colors

Thank you Christian!

This is exactly what I have already done.

Indeed, the mail.vim file highlights all the mail headers, with the same color (white in this case). 

My question is about how to customize these colors (when writing the mail) - say From: field blue, To: field red, ...

 

I am trying to understand the mail.vim file. It seems it defines the mail header fields all together and colors them with one color.

I am looking for a way to customize the mail header fields 

colors individually.

I am using mutt with vim and :set edit_headers so I see some headers in
each message. If you have your filetype plugin enabled, Vim should
detect a mail from mutt as filetype mail and it colors headers already
using the provided syntax file for the mail filetype  (see
$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/mail.vim).

If this is not enough for you, have a look inside this runtime file to
see how to color different headers.


Best,
Christian
