Well, mutt never seemed to work right in an xterm when build against the system ncurses library (the background didn't show up right). Once I got sick of that, I build Mutt with slang and it works perfectly. A newer version of ncurses may have helped, I never tried that. YMMV though, just try both, and see which is better for you. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
