It may just be the case that the defaults have changed. Try `:source /opt/local/share/doc/mutt/samples/colors.linux` to set a color scheme. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48655#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

So i did it again today. I could not find that colors.linux file in /opt/... so got it directly from source control for the mutt-1-4-stable branch in the contrib directory. However it exhibits the same trouble. Everything is white-on-black. One interesting observation: In the "index" screen, the "indicator" does have its proper colours. In the "pager" screen only, the "status" has its proper colours. Then i got a completely fresh minimal muttrc using http://muttrcbuilder.org/ (many thanks). However, the same trouble. Then i commented-out absolutely all color definitions, and started bringing them back one-by-one. Aha, found the culprit. It is the definition for "color normal". If that is commented-out, then all colours show properly! If it is defined as anything (e.g. "default default", or "green black") then it causes all others (except "indicator" and "status" to chuck a wobbly. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48655#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Sorry for that confusion, I'm using mutt-devel, where I had seen a similar configuration problem, and mutt-devel ships this file.

Thanks for diving into this. To me, this sounds like a bug in mutt. We should probably report it to the developers of mutt, and possibly check the source for indications why this happens. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48655#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
