## Description

Highlight comments with a background color in the WordPress Comments Admin pages.
Choose the criteria for highlighting a comment, add a note to show it with, and 
pick the highlight color.

This plugin is “for internal use” and only highlights comments within the WordPress
Comments admin. The typical use case for this plugin is to inform/remind users about
what to do for a particular type of comment. Examples:

 * Comments from John Doe – Always approve unless it’s about topic XYZ
 * Comments from IP 12.34.56.78 – Give a personal, non-standard response to these
   comments

You can highlight a comment based on the contents of the commentor’s name, email,
or IP address.
