I use category colors to manage my ridiculously large flow of incoming mail. When a message arrives, I have rules that set categories based on how the message was addressed. For instance, a rule for messages sent only to me (nobody else on the To or CC lines) sets the category and color of the message to red. A rule that sees me on the CC line with others on the CC line sets the category (and color) to green and so on.
What I noticed is that every email that has an attachment will briefly change color appropriately when it arrives and then the category is cleared shortly after. Usually within a second. My theory is that my rules set the category correctly when a message arrives but that the category is cleared after the attachment is completely downloaded.
Is this accurate? If so, is there any work around I can use to keep my categories set as I want them to be?
