Late to the thread, and purely for interest: this is what I use for the 
inverse:

color index white default  "((~P|(%f polyname ~f 'cameron simpson'))) | (~v ~((~P|(%f polyname ~f 'cameron simpson'))))"

This highlights messages (or collapsed threads) where I've participated.  
So not things addressed to me, but things from me. This keeps mailing 
list discussions in which I've said something highlighted.

The core thing here is the ~P (messages from me); the polyname thing is 
for Discourse, which I use in mailing list mode, and some other lists.

The polyname address group is for lists where the from address is always 
the list, not the author, and "%f polyname ~f 'cameron simpson'" matches 
those addresses where the comment part of the address contains my name, 
which is what Discourse and a few other things do.
