I think you have to turn the feature called weight on instead.

F10 --> e --> t --> d
then choose dim face and set weight to bold

I googled for some stuff and found a solution for getting the focus to
emacs and raising it.  Here it is being called from my post-mode-hook.

;;declare frame name
(setq main-frame (selected-frame))

;; Post mode hooks
(add-hook 'post-mode-hook
     '(lambda ()
      (raise-frame main-frame)
      (x-focus-frame main-frame)
))


However, is there a function to hand the focus back to a non-emacs
application (Mutt)?  I created an exit-hook for the post mode I use
and it works to lower the emacs window but the focus does not return
to the xterm which is running Mutt.

Here's what I have so far:

(add-hook 'exit-post-mode-hook
     '(lambda ()
      (lower-frame main-frame)
        ))

Again, thanks in advance for the help.
