It's OK, I've found the problem, although mutt was finding ncurses 5.0
to say it was using it, it *wasn't* actually finding it at ./configure
and build time. Thus putting "#define HAVE_USE_DEFAULT_COLORS" a the
end of config.h and adding the <DIR> to the --with-curses=DIR option
has got everything working OK.
I don't really understand why mutt reported:-
System: SunOS 5.6 [using ncurses 5.0]
but was apparently only actually finding the ordinary, old, curses
library. Even adding the --with-curses=DIR option didn't get
configure to set HAVE_USE_DEFAULT_COLORS.
