Howdy all, new mutt user, love it so far, but... Sadly the stable debian distro only has mutt 0.95, so I'm going from scratch. I am Compiling it on a debian stable box with slang 1.2.2 (runtime and dev files) and ncurses 4.2 (tuntime and dev) and it all compiles fine, but no color! The .deb has color nicely, but my compiled version doesn't. It's not black and white, it's the slang greyish color. Compiled with ./configure --enable-pop --enable-imap --with-slang and using the supplied Muttrc in /etc (with lines such as color hdrdefault cyan black color quoted green black color signature cyan black etc... so I'm pretty sure that that is a nice default).
