I realize my config has a lot of moving parts and non-default settings, but I still hope someone can shine a light on this.
I use less instead of the internal pager (note -R option), set pager="less -eiMR" and elinks for html display text/html; /usr/bin/elinks -localhost 1 -no-connect 1 -force-html -dump '%s' ; copiousoutput The terminal is gnome-terminal which defaults to TERM=xterm, supports 80 colors according to tput, and muttrc sources a terminal-specific file with color settings the original source of which I don't remember. color header red black .* # (match regexp in the message header) color header yellow black ^To: # (match regexp in the message header) color header green black ^Subject: # (match regexp in the message header) color index white black .* # index color indicator white blue # index color markers red green # `+' markers at beginning of wrapped lines color message white black color normal white black # pager body Sometimes I receive email with text emphasized by color, say, yellow background. The described setup, while coloring the index view, shows all text in monochrome, so I'm missing some information and need to open the message in firefox. elinks can handle color, so I added this setting to ~/elinks/elinks.conf set document.dump.color_mode = 4 The result is that when a html message is viewed, the headers continue to be shown normally - white background, black text - but the message text is now less readable with white background and light grey text. Any highlighted text is displayed in black with grey background (not matching background-color style from the html source, but I can lvie with that). The main problem is that the text is light grey, which is barely readable on white background. Any idea where I can tweak this? My first guess was this is controlled by less, but I played with various settings for LESS_TERMCAP_md, with no tangible results.
