But it raises a question about ncurses. It seems that building mutt with the devel/ncurses port installed creates the problem I was experiencing: most colors do not show up in mutt, and the line-drawing characters are borked. Deinstalling devel/ncurses and rebuilding mutt with the base version of ncurses solves the problem. However, x11/rxvt-unicode depends on devel/ncurses, so any time urxvt needs rebuilding we get devel/ncurses reinstalled. Any subsequent rebuild of mutt restores the original problem. Is there any way to sort this out? -- Sterling (Chip) Camden | camdensoftware.com | chipstips.com | chipsquips.com
