Quick fix is copy the /etc/Muttrc file to ~/.muttrc and add the my_header line from the previous reply. Then you get pretty colors already. Or go to /usr/doc/mutt and there are some sample configs there. And there is also a manual in that dir also. At the mutt homepage, http://www.mutt.org, there are some other examples of the .muttrc if you follow the links, that have some other intersting stuff with PGP, aliases and the like.
