As I said, the background colour can appear as black, despite the fact that it's suppose to be white. Changing the foreground colour will bizarrely change the background colour to one that wasn't stated, for god knows what reason. As for the terminal, this is the Gnome2 Terminal in which you can switch easily between it's own palette (Linux Console), Xterm, Rxvt, and even custom. Switching between them updates the colours in running apps in front of your eyes. Also - there is no difference whether I'm using other (non-Gnome) terminals. Mutt will not accept color8 and above, nor even things like lightgray, which a few documents I've read claim Mutt *should* accept when compiled with slang. On the contrary, slrn renders all sixteen colours without a problem. [..] -- Lee J. Moore http://www.leej.dsl.pipex.com ---------------------------------- Powered by Gentoo (Portage 2.0.28)
