Strikethrough

Any contact whose MPD Phase is Not Interested (can be enabled/disabled in Tools | Options | User Interface tab).

Red

Any partner who does not have a Task scheduled (can be enabled/disabled by right-clicking on the context menu).

To enable/disable color in the Current Group, or disable Red contacts, right-click in the contact list.

Disable/Enable Strikethrough in Tools | Options | User Interface Tab

History Colors

TntMPD uses color in the History to help you identify "relationally significant" activities. The basic premise is that appointments, phone calls, and thank yous have a higher personal relationship aspect than e-mails, newsletters, and to do tasks. And in all cases, completed tasks are more valuable than attempts.

Note: The strikethrough on Attempts can be disabled in Tools | Options | User Interface tab.
