Yes, it was. That why I mentioned the upgrade.

Really? Then how did vim previously know I wanted signatures to be magenta on
black rather than say, yellow on black? The only place that color was
mentioned
was in a file sourced by my ~/.mutt/muttrc:
color signature magenta black # signature
I'd tried several invocations of .vimrc with and without syntax highlighting
before
(maybe incorrectly) that mutt controlled the coloring.
