I solved my color problems with mutt-1.3.25. I did specify the curses param incorrectly. It's fixed and I'm happily using the new mutt.
However, I have a different color issue to ask about. Under my new compile of mutt with ncurses 5.2, I see yellow color as yellow (dtterm). However, under my Linux system (gnome terminal) yellow looks more orange/brown in color. When I ssh from my solaris 8 box to my home machine, color works correctly (including yellow). However, when I ssh from my home machine to my work-solaris 8 machine, mutt is in mono color though editing (using vim) does show up in color, just not mutt's indexes and such. Anyone seen that before? I'm using Debian at home and I installed packages for ncurses and mutt as opposed to compiling them myself. ideas? -- Carl B.
