Why don't you go back to using ncurses, if it's working for you.
Simply add "WITH_MUTT_NCURSES=yes" to /etc/make.conf and rebuild the port.
Most FreeBSD mutt users (-stable and -devel) prefer using slang (as do I),
but there are a very few who prefer ncurses, because of unusal key- and
color-bindings. As FreeBSD has established the POLA (principle of least
astonishment) the default is what most people want.
