no color when composing email in 1.5.6

[Mark Frank <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was running 1.5.5.1i on FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE and after a buildworld and 
portupgrade, I am now on 1.5.6i on 5.2.1-RELEASE.

The only issue I'm having is when I compose a message I have no coloring
at all - just my default green on black.  All coloring in the pager,
index etc works just fine and I've not changed my muttrc at all (except
the changing of the alternates syntax.)  Here's some examples that don't 
work:

    color signature  magenta        black # signature
    color hdrdefault cyan           black # default header lines
    quoted           cyan           black # quoted text


For my editor I'm using vim 6.2.263 invoked with (watch the wrap):


    set editor="/usr/local/bin/vim +':set textwidth=72' +'/^$/ +1' +'set 
comments=nb:> ' "


I have used several incarnations of my .vimrc (including none at all)
and unsetting the editor command completely.  There are no 'color'
entries in /usr/local/etc/muttrc.  Any ideas?
