no > It surely can't be intentional? I think it is. > I'm using mutt-1.5.14-4 as seen on Fedora 7, compiled with ncurses 5.6, > in an xterm (X.Org 6.8.99.903(227)) with default colours (i.e. in normal > operation the xterm displays black text on a white background). 'default" is rather muddied here, you *do* have an /etc/[Mm]uttrc or a ~/.[Mm]uttrc, which changes "default" if you consider that *rc as "default". Remove the "color definitions" from the rc file and you will have "white on black". > "mutt -n -F /dev/null" comes up in white on a black background.

Now you have "normal", ie: no rc file influence. > Type ":color normal green black" and now it's green on black. All > fine so far. BUT, "normal green black" per the fine manual attaches the meaning of "normal" to the "object defined (type of information)" [...] > It also turns out that specifying "default" for any one colour switches > the whole of mutt from the default white-on-black into black-on-white, > except where colour settings have been specified.
