Thanks, I missed that reference.

Hmpf, my experience is completely the opposite.  I use over 83 `color'
settings with mutt using slang.  Before the port defaulted to slang, I
would manually specify WITH_SLANG because the ncurses version did not
do colors well.  (on -CURRENT and -STABLE)

I just tested mutt with slang with the `color' definitions in
ports/37725 on rxvt (TERM=rxvt) and xterm (TERM=xterm-color) on
4.5-STABLE, and as expected it works fine.

Did the maintainer or committer actually test to see if Luigi's claim
is accurate?  I would like to see this resolved before 4.6-RELEASE so
that we have a working mutt on the CDs.

Cheers,
