Mail RULE deleted - still applies a color.

I cannot take credit for this. I was this post on another page and it worked!!! From Jeffrey Jones2. Thanks man!!!

"A rule is simply an instruction on what to do with incoming messages. Once the rule has been applied, it plays no further role. Deleting a rule means that it will no longer be applied to future messages. If you have a rule that says "Forward all messages from this sender", all those forwarded messages won't vanish because you subsequently delete the rule. If you have a rule that says "Delete all messages with 'Rolex' in the subject line", those messages will not magically reappear if you later delete the rule. Similarly, deleting a rule that says "color the message listing" will not cause already-colored messages to lose their color.

You can change the background color of message listings by selecting the messages and choosing *Format > Show Colors*. Choose white to remove highlighting."

I am having the same issue. I am curious if you found a solution.

Cheers!

Great tip/post, thanks! 🙂
