That's cool!  Git master has code for managing such a filter, with the  
capability of setting both the background and foreground colors  
(foreground is an easy add-on, once the basic machinery is in place).  It  
passes minimal testing, but probably has many rough edges--usual  
disclaimers apply!

Filters are applied only to recent messages, so as implemented this will  
color only these (a message is "recent" in the first session in which it  
is found in a mailbox).  Colorizing older messages would require more  
substantial changes, and could /really/ slow down opening a mailbox.

Best,

Peter
