First: I would have replied earlier if it was obvious from the subject that
you are talking about differences of the two FreeBSD ports ;-)
Second: as another person already mentioned: the -devel ports does _NOT_
default to use slang, because slang does not work properly out of the box.
(I know it sounds weired, that the non-devel-port uses a somewhat
uncomfortable setting, but that's for historic reasons. It will change as
soon as 1.6.x appears ...)
Slang and ncurses differ especially in color handling, but a real analysis of
your problems is only possible, if you send me you .muttrc and tell me with
which of the knobs you built the ports. Also an output of the ldd command for
both mutt versions will be helpful.
Best regards
