message\_highlight
------------------

[](#message_highlight)

With this plugin you can colorize the message index rows based on specific criteria like sender, recipient and subject. This repository is a fork and continuation of the orginal work by [Cor Bosman](https://github.com/corbosman/message_highlight).

Features
--------

[](#features)

Go to your Roundcube settings area and select rules to highlight emails in your mailview.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Use composer from the Roundcube root directory:

```
composer require melroy89/message_highlight:dev-master
```

*NOTE:* Answer **N** when composer ask you about plugin activation.

Activate the plugin by editing the `HOME_RC/config/config.inc.php` file:

```
$config['plugins'] = [
        // Other plugins...
        'message_highlight',
];
```

And see the available config options in [config.inc.php-dist](./config.inc.php-dist) file. However, you should also be able to set these configs via the Roundcube -> `Settings` -> `Message Highlights`.
