How does the "Mail coloring" work?

And can I use it in another DB – i have a DB that I would like certina records to show up in a special color, but it isn’t obvious in the designer how to do that.Is this one of those “embedded in the mail client” things that mere mortals can’t access?

There are few ways to do that. One is simply to set alternating row colors in the view properties and tweak how Notes displays unread documents. However, you can set the color of the row background and text programmatically. Search the Designer help for “Use value as color.” Briefly put: you can use a column value to set colors for individual rows based on formulas you write. A little tricky, but useful.
