I don't know--I've never tried to get colors to work in mutt.
Many of the text applications I've seen that have used color have used
it in a way that I found either not useful, distracting or hideous.
I've also avoided color as a means to convey information because it's
usually lost when printed or photocopied and because several of my
co-workers are color blind. So my motivation to get color working is
generally low.
That being said, I do like using gvim's syntax coloring when I'm editing
HTML files. I tried using syntax coloring with vim running in both
hpterm and xterm windows on this system, but all I got was combinations
of bold, inverse video and underlining. I think the problem may be with
hpterm or xterm, but I haven't done any serious investigation.
