The Mutt user list would be more appropriate. And my .muttrc as well as those of other all have color statements to get the colors right. I don't think I actually tried using default. I start mutt from a xterm-color as well. If you need an example .muttrc, feel free to ask. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl] Documentation nutter. *BSD: Technical excellence at its best...
