Comment 2 for bug 284176

The only ways I can think of to make this work are:
- change the color instead of the formatting. There would have to be a setting to pick the color otherwise if the default annoyed someone it would be the same as this problem
- provide some way to do it only to the users I would actually like to see highlighted. I know BCDC++ offers a similar functionality using the Favorite Users concept, but that doesn't look like it exists here.
