Under X I prefer a darkslateblue background, so after changing the "default"s in .muttrc to "color0" I also added Rxvt*color0: darkslateblue to .Xdefaults. Now mutt goes ahead and uses darkslateblue for the background. (I run rxvt rather than xterm, but presume xterm has a similar feature) The only shortcoming to this approach is that other apps which expect color0 to be black don't look exactly right. -- Brian Litzinger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
