[Patch v2 0/3] emacs: allow show to colour based on tags and flags

[Austin Clements]

I haven't really looked at this series yet, but I do have a quick
high-level question.  Why use separate customization variables for the
colors in search and show mode?  Wouldn't it make more sense to set
the colors just once and use them in both modes?

BTW, I like how this clearly distinguishes tags and flags.  I wonder
if we could transition to flags for some information that's current
shoe-horned into tags but actually represents immutable information
about a message (attachment, signed, and encrypted or so).

My one concern is that there's a common tag called "flagged", so this
might be overloading terminology.
