No problem, thank you very much for this! I see, I thought that these pull requests had been committed and the final product was included here. It never occurred to me that the "buggy" code is not updated. Sorry for a very basic question: how do I download this corrected pull request file. One way out appears to me to be to simply change the "default" to "brightwhite". But I was also wondering if there is a better way to simply set the default to be something else (instead of changing it). Many thanks again, and best wishes, Ranjan PS: Off-topic to this thread, but I have realized that the mutt mailing list does not have Reply-To set to the mailing list. Is there a way to set this by default (in my .muttrc)? Many thanks again, and best wishes, Ranjan
