Apply relevant msglist styles in order
Allow styles to be layered over a base style. The list of styles to apply is layered over the base style in order, such that if the layer does not differ from the base it is not used. The order that these styles are applied in is, from first to last: msglist_default msglist_unread msglist_read (exclusive with unread, so technically the same level) msglist_flagged msglist_deleted msglist_marked So, msglist_marked style dominates. This fixes an issue where the msglist_deleted style was not being applied.

+## Layered styles
+Some styles, (currently only the `msglist\*` ones) are applied in layers. If
+a style differs from the base (in this case `msglist_default`) then that style
+applies, unless overridden by a higher layer. The order that `msglist` styles
+are applied in is, from first to last:
+
+```
+msglist_default
+msglist_unread
+msglist_read
+msglist_flagged
+msglist_deleted
+msglist_marked
+```
+
+So, the marked style will override all other msglist styles.
