Looks like I've screwed up somewhere ... :-)
I was previously using version 1.0i and compiled and installed 1.2.4i.
All was well, except that on a couple of occasions (mainly on changing
folders) bits of the previous "screen" would get "left behind" on the
next "screen". i.e. a subject from a message in a subfolder would stay
in the same place on the screen when I moved to another folder ...
I thought about this for a while, then I thought that perhaps it might
be an Ncurses problem - I had version 4.2, so I downloaded, compiled and
installed Ncurses 5.1. After recompiling Mutt with the new Ncurses, I
have no colours!
Mutt is definitely compiled with colour support:

I noticed in the Ncurses documentation that it said it was going to
overwrite the Terminfo settings and that any customizations should be
saved. I don't recall ever doing anything with Terminfo before, so I
just let it go ahead. Is that my mistake? If so, what should I do now?
I am running Mutt in a Konsole under RH6.0 (KDE desktop). Colours
appear OK running stuff other Mutt in the Konsole, e.g. colourized "ls",
SLRN newsreader (uses Slang, not Ncurses?) ...
Any help most welcome!
Dave.
