When Mail.app colorizes email it does so by editing the actual message and appending a plist to the end of it. This is unfortunate because if you later decide you don't want the rule to take affect it won't undo this persistent color will it? Specifically if you decide later that you didn't want the mail colored and you don't want a Color element in the plist at all. ie. you don't just want to reset to black as that itself is a color element added to the plist but you want Mail.app's default behaviour which is no additional coloring. So how can you reset the state of the messages to reflect no additional coloring?
