I received an email in regular black print. Later that e-mail showed up in pink/violet print? Why?

press the number 5 key... that is the shortcut for later. Or if you want to use the tag but not the colour,

Tools menu > options > display > tags and set things in the way of colours to suit your tastes.

does it still after a reboot? what is one of those computer gremlins?

I serious am not aware of a why, and the color has no special meaning.

The only possibility I can think of is in the mail list, a pink color is associated with the tag later. As for changing it, it might be a synchronization from a phone or tablet that shares the account

Matt, yes, it does come with the tag "later". What does that mean? And it sounds like I can't really get rid of the color, right? Can I get rid of the "later" tag?
