I'm not sure how I missed the need to fix this in app-defaults for "Mark
Unseen".  I guess that'll be my next CVS fix.

I thought about that.  The first order approximation would be to just add
using pack .... -side top instead of pack ... -side left, however, since their
each a different width, it would look funny.

The only sequences that are defined there are sequences which are defined in
app-defaults-color or ~/exmh/exmh-defaults-color.  I've been thinking about
how to dynamically generate highlighting for other sequences, but haven't got

I don't see any reason why not.  Experiment and let me know what works for you.
