They are similar, but there is a small advantage to using the
scan.highlighted format: you can have a shared format file owned by root
with abstract names-- scan-color-cur, scan-color-unseen--and users can
customize the colors as they wish without having to maintain their own
scan format ;-)
I'm trying to understand how that would work; you'd put the escape sequences
in your mh-profile?
Yes, sorry if it was not clear, I was referring to how scan.highlighted
can be generalized in a way that scan.curses does not seem to support,
as in my adaptation of scan.highlighted below.
scan.format:
%<(cur)%(zputlit(profile scan-color-cur))%>\
%<(unseen)%(zputlit(profile scan-color-unseen))%>\
%4(msg)%<(cur)+%| %>%<{replied}-%?{encrypted}E%| %>\
%02(mon{date})/%02(mday{date})/%(void(year{date}))%02(modulo 100)%<{date} %|*%>\
%<(mymbox{from})%<{to}To:%14(decode(friendly{to}))%>%>\
%<(zero)%17(decode(friendly{from}))%> \
%(decode{subject})%<{body}<<%{body}>>%>%(zputlit(lit ^[[m))
.mh_profile:
scan-color-cur: ^[[1;37m
scan-color-unseen: ^[[36m
