I think I was able to work this out with the awesome info you provided:

COLOR=red,purple SERVICE=msgs
         MAIL $ADMINMAIL

COLOR=red,purple EXSERVICE=msgs
         MAIL $ADMINMAIL RECOVERED

Now on the info page, all the tests only have one line in the recipient 
column, and they all have (R) except msgs.  I think this is precisely 
what I am aiming for.  At the moment I do not have xymon monitoring any 
logfiles, but I will eventually think of something for it to alert on.

Thanks,
Shawn
