Hmm, since we're talking about ncurses, S-Lang, and terminals, I have a
question that may be better answered by John E. Davis, the author of S-Lang,
and Thomas E. Dickey, the maintainer of ncurses (or may be not?), or by any
other developer.
I have two questions:
1- What are the differences you get compiling Mutt with ncurses or S-Lang?
Why should I use ncurses/S-Lang to compile Mutt?
2- This concern S-Lang. I use rxvt as my terminal emulator (don't think it
matters), and set TERM=rxvt (zsh as the shell). I'm unable to get the white
color when Mutt is compiled with S-Lang. I only see a sort of yellow, which
destroy my color scheme. Using ncurses it works fine. Same Mutt, same
configuration, terminal, shell... John once said that to get a white color
using Lynx you need to use -blink when invoking the browser, and using SLRN
to set set use_blink 1 in your ~/.muttrc. Both works as expected. But there's
no such switch for Mutt, and I'm unable to use the white color. I have set
color normal black white ... in my ~/.muttrc.
Using ncurses 990925/S-Lang 1.3.9
Maybe it's my fault? I really don't know.
