Hi,

This may not exactly be a mutt problem, but mutt is
currently the only program I run that's affected by it. So
perhaps someone will be able to help...

I recently moved my system from RedHat to Slackware. Mutt
always worked properly on RedHat, but on slackware I get
errrors similar to the following on startup:

Error in /home/aldo/.muttrc, line 52: default: no such color
...

The lines that generate the errors use the "default" color,
similar to the following:

color header yellow default Subject:

I usually run mutt in rxvt, and at first I thought that the
reason for the errors was that Slackware doesn't come with a
termcap entry for rxvt. So I installed up-to-date termcap
and terminfo entries for rxvt, but I still get the same
error. (You can assume that environment variable settings
and the like are correct.)

The "default" color should allow my pixmap background in
rxvt to shown - i.e. it should be clear. After I start up
mutt, and get the errors shown above, mutt seems to revert
to a "clear" default anyway. In other words, the result I
get when I specify "default" as a color is what I expected,
despite the errors. 

I'd be grateful for any advice, or pointers to information
germane to my problem...

Thanks,

Aldo
