You'll need to make a customized syntax/email.vim file. I suggest going
about this one field at a time.
Copy your system's email.vim into $HOME/.vim/syntax/email.vim.
Work with the copy:
Example:
modify: syn region mailHeader ... remove "|from" from its start pattern
new syntax: syn region mailHeaderFrom
new highlighting: hi def mailHeaderFrom (whatever start= cterm=
gui= stuff you want)
quoted regions: include mailHeaderFrom in mailQuoted[1-6]
Rinse and repeat for whatever fields you want to modify the highlighting
for.
Your version of email.vim will then override the system version, which
you should NOT modify. Future updates to vim could easily wipe your
modified email.vim away should you happen to modify the system version
in place.
