Re: color problem (1/2)

Although your way of bringing this 'problem' to our attention doesn't
really trigger a need to reply in me, I too have had some difficulties
with terminals and mutt. Of which most important, the 'BCE'-problem
which has been resolved and documented.
So, I'd like to bring forward this 'evidence', again in screenshot, but
a little clearer, perhaps... http://debian.freshdot.net/temp.png
It shows my xterm is fully capable of showing a dim colour and a bright
colour, both in normal and bold weight on either a dim or a bright
background.
This screenshot is the result of this shellscript, xmag, xwd and gimp:
| #!/bin/sh
| echo -e "1.\033[0;37;40mAaBbCcDd\033[m"
| echo -e "2.\033[1;37;40mAaBbCcDd\033[m"
| echo -e "3.\033[0;37;100mAaBbCcDd\033[m"
| echo -e "4.\033[1;37;100mAaBbCcDd\033[m"
| echo -e "5.\033[0;97;40mAaBbCcDd\033[m"
| echo -e "7.\033[1;97;40mAaBbCcDd\033[m"
| echo -e "8.\033[0;97;100mAaBbCcDd\033[m"
| echo -e "9.\033[1;97;100mAaBbCcDd\033[m"
But then again, mutt doesn't use ANSI escape sequences itself to control
the terminal. Ncurses or Slang does. So now it's either terminal, mutt
or ncursus/slang related. Not to forget that one can change the colors
xterm thinks is 'yellow' or 'bright yellow' in ones Xresources file.
I'm not pointing fingers, but I do think it's a bit odd. :)
Though, i'm still happy the way it is.
Kind regards,
Sander.
