Yes I did, and I got the same results. This can only be resolved by
configuring slang via two environment variables (as now mentioned in the
Makefile).  When testing: are the variables COLORTERM and COLORFGBG set in 
your environment?

By the way: we are talking about mail/mutt-devel and I think mail/mutt will
be on the CD - although I suggest in moving mutt-devel-1.4 to mail/mutt (as
soon as it is released).

But what is really bad is that mail/mutt now also has this bad behaviour,
so this is really a sort of bug in libslang. I just tested this on
4.6-PRERELEASE.

If we want a working mutt on the CD we have to change mail/mutt also, as
slang is default when PACKAGE_BUILDING.

Best regards
