I'm sorry if this was too brief.
Actually, I would like to know, how mutt does the signature-coloring.
When you look at the two screenshots, you'll see that mutt isn't just
coloring the first 4 lines after `-- '. On the first png, four lines
(and one newline) appear in the correct color. On the second png, more
than ten lines have the correct color (brightblack).
So my rephrased question is: Is this normal?
Thank you,
