Subject: [notmuch] [PATCHv2] notmuch.el: colorize lines in notmuch-search
	based on thread tags.
Precedence: list

Arbitrary font faces can be specified for given thread tags.  By
default, no coloring is applied.  To specify coloring, place something
like this in your .emacs:

(setq notmuch-search-line-faces '(("delete" . (:foreground "red"))
                                  ("unread" . (:foreground "green"))))

Order matters: line faces listed first will take precedence (in the
example above, a thread tagged both "delete" and "unread" will be
colored red, since the "delete" face is listed before the "unread").
