>Description:
I have found that the mutt-devel port, which defaults to using
SLANG, completely screws up colors when used on a color-enabled
terminal (xterm-color or cons25), whereas the ncurses version
works fine.

What is the advantage of slang over ncurses ?

Could you please revert the port to use ncurses by default ?

>How-To-Repeat:
try mutt-devel on a color terminal (xterm-color or cons25) and
some color definitions in ~/.muttrc, e.g.

	color index red default ".*"            # any other message
	color index default default "~N !~P"    # new messages not from you
	color index yellow default "~N ~P"      # new messages not from you
	color index white default "~D"          # deleted messages

>Fix:

add a

	WITHOUT_MUTT_SLANG=	yes

in the port's Makefile
