freebsd mutt(-devel) port, ncurses vs. slang



Ok, first I want to say 'Thanks' to those of you who helped me
troubleshoot the problem I was having with the pager.  In my final
message in that thread (SOLVED), I stated that I was starting to like
the slang support, and the reason for that was consistent colorization.
Now that I have switched away from slang, I am experiencing the
recurrence of a colorization problem that has been around (for me) for a
long time.

As with the aforementioned thread, I can show you better than I can tell
you...

This is the mutt-devel port on FreeBSD.  Here is the `ldd` output:

# ldd `which mutt`
/usr/local/bin/mutt:
        libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x280ef000)
        libssl.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.3 (0x28131000)
        libcrypto.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.3 (0x2815f000)
        libintl.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6 (0x2824c000)
        libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x28255000)
        libgdbm.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libgdbm.so.3 (0x28343000)
        libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x28349000)


Here are the options that were passed to the port on compilation:

WITH_MUTT_LOCALES_FIX=YES
WITH_MUTT_IMAP_HEADER_CACHE=YES
WITH_MUTT_MAILDIR_HEADER_CACHE=YES
WITH_MUTT_SMIME_OUTLOOK_COMPAT=YES
WITH_MUTT_PGP_PATCH=YES
WITH_MUTT_NNTP=YES
WITH_MUTT_EDIT_THREADS=YES
WITH_MUTT_SIGNATURE_MENU=YES
WITH_MUTT_IFDEF_PATCH=YES


Now, this also happens with the mutt (non-devel) port on FreeBSD 4.8.  I
also observe the same behavior with mutt & mutt-devel on a CURRENT
system which is 3 days old.

Should I just chalk this up to some ncurses funkiness?  I am also
posting this on freebsd-questions since this could be independent of
mutt.

Thanks, as always.
