As Sven just pointed out I have been using rather old versions of mutt
I have upgraded all my mutts (four of them) to version 1.4i.  All of
the Linux ones were no problem, just ./configure with the required
options, make and install and it worked like clockwork.

However the Solaris 2.6 one is proving a bit more difficult.

First it didn't add '-liconv' to the Makefile line for linking, I fixed
that by adding it manually to the Makefile.

Secondly, and more significant, is that colours are not working
correctly any more.  When mutt loads it complains:-

    Error in /home/chris/.mutt/muttrc, line 27: default: no such color
    Error in /home/chris/.mutt/muttrc, line 28: default: no such color
    ...
    ...
    etc.

I'm using ncurses 5.0 on both the Solaris version and the Linux
versions and the 'default' colour works fine on the Linux versions.
I have a sneaking feeling that I remember having this problem before
but unfortunately I can't remember how to fix it.
