Is there a way to get either the ICE or DCT edits to have either the header chage color, or the To: field to change color of messages to you?
When writing a message, the 'To' field has the name of the person you're writing to, which is usually someone else.. Do you often write messagesto
yourself?

No, but when they reply, it does. I want replies to me highlighted.
When using DDMR (Dig.Dist. Message Reader) and SlyEdit(DCT). When I am going through a message scan, I can hit right arrow or left arrow and it shows next or previous messages. As I go through the messages, I would like messages that are to me to be a different color. I go through the different echoes each day, starting where I left off the day before. I read or scan most all messages in the base. I want the ones that are addressed to me to be a different color, so it stands out.

Ah, I see. That would be in my message reader then. SlyEdit would have nothing to do with that. I could probably add that.
When you're using the built-in generated header in my message reader, it could do that, but if you're using a custom ANSI message header, then it would likely not be able to do that.

Cool. That would be bitchin'. I don't use the list feature, I go message by message. But either would be nice.

it should be able to do that easily when it inserts the name into the field... just inject the color change with the name and then set it back immediately at the end of the name... of am i maybe thinking deeper in
code than where DDMR operates?
My message reader does have a feature where in the list mode, it can show messages to you in a different color. To customize that, you can look in the color theme file for my lister (by default, DefaultTheme.cfg) andlook
for the configuration items with names starting with "msgListToUser". It should be already customized to show messages in the list to you in a different color/attribute (such as bright).
So I'm a little confused on where you want the highlight to show up..When
someone else is writing a message with SlyEdit, you're not going to see their session; the only time you'd see the "To" field is when you are writing a message, where the "To" field would specify the other person you're writing to.
When I am arrowing though the individual messages in the reader. I tapthe
right arrow to go to the next message. So sometimes I don't see who the message is to or from, I am just reading messages. I don't want to miss one to me, so if it is highlighted, or a different color, I won't missit.
Sorry if I am unclear.

Man, didn't even realize this was a thing... is this in CVS, is the one on your site the latest?

You'd need a custom message header for that. There's a lot of functionality supported now, but it's not the DCT/SlyEdit that does the reading headers.
