[ILUG] mutt & colours

[John P. Looney]

 Strange one. Any idea why when my colours are:


color attachment brightmagenta black  # guess :-)
color body brightyellow black "(ftp|http)://[^ ]+"  # picks up URLs in
body of message. 
color body white black [-a-z_0-9.]+@[-a-z_0-9.]+ # picks up email addresses
color bold brightwhite black
color error brightred red          # errors yell at you in red 
color hdrdefault blue black        # headers 
color header brightwhite black ^(From|Date|To|Subject):       # Important headers
color indicator brightyellow black # currently selected message, etc 
color markers brightcyan black     # the + for wrapped pager lines
color message brightcyan black     # informational messages, *not mail* 
color normal white black           # plain text  
color quoted brightgreen black     # quoted text
color search black green           # hilite search patterns in the pager
color signature cyan black         # signature (after "-- ") is red  
color status black red
color tilde brightmagenta black    # ~'s after message body
color tree brightmagenta black     # thread tree in index menu is magenta
color underline brightgreen default

 Why it's black on a transparent gnome-term ? When I change all the second
"black"s to "default", it goes wierd - cyan & bright green backgrounds,
etc.
