Unlike the other replies, I'm going to assume this is an
rxvt-unicode setup issue. Maybe I'm wrong, and if so, the previous
replies will have already pointed you to a solution.
For me, after making a mailbox read-only, I can get that message -
it appears in red on the black background.
If I'm right, this is what I use (in my case, in ~/.Xresources) for
a black background with all TTF/OTF fonts :
! settings for urxvt
URxvt.background: Black
URxvt.foreground: White
URxvt.geometry: 100x40
! not all my old systems have Liberation
! without any specific CJK font, some glyphs are found but
! others are not
URxvt.font: xft:Liberation Mono:size=12:autohint=true, \
xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12::autohint=true, \
xft:FreeMono:size=13:autohint=true, \
xft:AR PL UKai CN:pixelsize=24:autohint=false, \
URxvt.title: urxvt
! tone down bright blue by mixing some green into it
URxvt.color12: #0080FF
That last one is because I find bright blue on black unreadable,
probably something to do with my eyesight.
