Scrolling down a really long e-mail trying to sort where one message ends and another one starts can be a pain. Thank goodness though for this Thunderbird tip that will add different colors depending on the level of the quote you are at.
Just copy and paste this to your userContent.css file for Thunderbird:
/* Quote Levels Colors */
blockquote[type=cite] { color: navy !important; background-color: RGB(245,245,245) !important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote { color: maroon !important; background-color: RGB(235,235,235) !important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote { color: green !important; background-color: RGB(225,225,225) !important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote { color: purple !important; background-color: RGB(215,215,215) !important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote blockquote { color: teal !important; background-color: RGB(205,205,205) !important;
}
There are a handful of other Thunderbird config tips and tweaks you might want to check out from Mozilla’s site too. This is the best one in my opinion though.

Remember a few posts past, when I asked if anybody had a solution for Windows Vista color coded folders? I had this on Windows XP with the help of programs like Folderico. That is when I decided it might be better off creating my own colorful Vista folder icon pack so I could just do this myself - no extra program needed!
Download the Vista Colorful Folder Pack! (.zip)
All of the icons are in the .ico format, and supports the following sizes:
256 x 256, 128 x 128, 64 x 64, 48 x 48, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, 16 x 16
Why color code your folders? Having color coded folders for certain documents is more than just about “making things pretty”. It is also very helpful when it comes to getting things done. Let’s say you use the green folder for your bills, green is the color of money - hence it makes you jump right to it instead of having to hunt through all those yellow folders.
Depending on how popular these are, I might release more colored folders in the future. Feel free to use them however you like. If you pass it around to a friend, might also mention where you got it and ask them to subscribe to my RSS feed for more!
