This is *totally* UNTRUE:
/usr/local/bin//mutt:
libslang.so => /usr/local/lib/libslang.so (0x280e5000)
libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x28148000)
libssl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.2 (0x28167000)
libcrypto.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.2 (0x28199000)
libxpg4.so.3 => /usr/lib/libxpg4.so.3 (0x28263000)
libintl.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.2 (0x28265000)
libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x2826c000)
libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x28340000)
libc.so.5 => /usr/lib/libc.so.5 (0x28382000)
note the use of libslang. TERM=xterm and not having COLORTERM set, mutt
will not use colors. TERM=xterm and COLORTERM=yes, mutt will use colors.
TERM=xterm-color (COLORTERM set or not), mutt will use colors.
