IIRC, for default background colors to work properly with older versions of slang, you have to set an environment variable to tell slang what the background color is. You might be using an old slang library. If it's compiled against curses, then most likely it's a problem with the provided termcap/terminfo settings. If that's the case, there are probably other people having similar problems. Did you search the archives and/or the web for this problem? I do vaguely recall people complaining about terminal-related stuff not working properly on Macs before... mutt -v will tell you how it was compiled: $ mutt -v |egrep 'curses|slang' System: Linux <sanitized> [using slang 10405] -- Derek D.
