Following everyone's advice, I installed ncurses-4.2, then rebuilt Mutt
to use it. It didn't work, and I still got the same error messages.
I then tried Harold's suggestion, replaced "default" with a real color,
and it worked fine. This surprised me a bit, because a friend of mine
is also running Mutt on his RH Linux box. His is linked to S-lang, but
the docs say "default" and "brightdefault" only work if COLORFGBG is
defined, and it's not defined on his box.
Oh well, the things I learn. Thanks for everyone's tips. :)
