Anybody using MailTags?

Question

So it would seem that MailTags is the best way for me to do what I want. That is I maintain a whitelist of people who can send me email and typically my server tags the email (by adding a header as the message was delivered) as to whether the sender was on this whitelist or not and I use rules in mail.app to colorize the message but since I cannot edit the headers later if I add a sender of a message to the whitelist Mail.app will never know that that email is now on the whitelist so the only way it seems is to use an additional rule using MailTags keywords whereby when I decide that I add a message's sender to the whitelist I simply add a MailTags keyword to the message.
Is that the only way to do what I want?
I had another approach whereby I also maintained the whitelist in addressbook and have applescript to add/remove from that addressbook group but addressbook doesn't seem to scale very well when you add a lot of contacts like this to it. This approach used the member in group rule criteria to colorize the email.
Colorizing the email using rules seems to be problematic because the color set is persistent. That is if you later change the rule the color doesn't change. Specifically if you set the color based on some criteria and later decide you won't want that criteria to apply it seems that only way is to explicitly set the colors to the defaults using a specific rule. I don't know of a way in Mail.app to simply remove the "color" element from the xml stanza thats put in the message file.

Thank you for posting in Oracle Communities. Upon searching our internal database i didn't find anything related to Tableau and PeopleSoft used together. I hope someone who has, will respond.
