Thank you so very much, John. Actually, right after looking at your code I started fiddling with it as suggested, and I came up with something quite satisfactory to my taste. The only thing, at this line: > color normal black default I had to change "default" to "white" in order to get a white background. Also changed a few others things... and this totally takes care of my first question. Thanks again! It's been very much appreciated. As to the other question, mutt's vs. an external text editor, if I were to keep nano for the time being, how would I go about making nano display the same color pattern I have already achieved in mutt? I spent hours with the nano manual, and all that talk about regexp parameters in order to configure color is totally confusing to me. Given that nano seems a popular choice as a mutt's editor, my hope is that others have done that already (make their nano match mutt's .muttrc colors) and will share their savvy here in a more intellegible fashion, just as you have just done.
