Was color composing working for you before upgrading mutt? It shouldn't make
a difference.

Better sit down - coloring inside your editor is your editor's job, not mutt's.
You'll need to find out how to get your editor to highlight mail messages.
As for why unsetting editor in your mutt config didn't change anything,
that's probably because for worse or worse mutt defaults the editor to vi
when $EDITOR isn't set.
