I'm using Mutt 1.3.27 on FreeBSD 4.5-stable(installed via port with
slang). Nothing wrong with the port. "Wrong" is slang. In order to
display correct colors with slang you should define  COLORFGBG
environment variable. My .cshrc file contains the following (i'm using
tcsh as a default shell):

setenv COLORFGBG="lightgrey;black"

Also you should use "lightgrey" instead of "white" and "brown" instead
of "yellow" while defining COLORFGBG.

Read the /usr/local/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt and your mutt will be
white and fluffy.
