It was WITH_SLANG, not WITH_MUTT_SLANG. That solves the problem, and has the added benefit of being able to use my default text color (SpringGreen) instead of having to stick to the 8 normal colors. I thought that might have also opened up urxvt's 256-color support, but mutt still thinks I have only 8 colors. At least I can default to my urxvt settings for normal text, though. Thanks again for your help! -- Sterling (Chip) Camden | camdensoftware.com | chipstips.com | chipsquips.com
