Hello *,

I am working with an IBM ThinkPad 570  (P2/366MHz/192MB)  and  it  works
perfectly but for some days I have setup some new colorization  and  now
mutt kill all of my CPU and Memory resources...

----[ '~/.mutt/colors' ]------------------------------------------------
color body brightmagenta        default "^\-\-\-\-\\[ STDIN \\]\-\-.*"
color body brightmagenta        default "^\\+\-\-\-\\[ STDIN \\]\-\-.*"
color body brightmagenta        default "^\-\-\-\-\\[ manpage \'.*\' \\]\-\-.*"
color body brightmagenta        default "^\\+\-\-\-\\[ manpage \'.*\' \\]\-\-.*"
color body brightmagenta        default "^\-\-\-\-\\[ command \'.*\' \\]\-\-.*"
color body brightmagenta        default "^\\+\-\-\-\\[ command \'.*\' \\]\-\-.*"
color body brightmagenta        default '^| '
color body brightmagenta        default '^\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-.*'
color body brightmagenta        default '^\+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-.*'
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sniplet is the reason...

OK, I have arround 150  mailfolder  defined  in  "mailboxes"  and  after
checkig the 15th, mutt has eaten then whle memory (192 MByte) and  begin
to eat my SWAP (256 MByte).  Also if I press <PAGEDOWN> in  the  message
view, the CPU utilization jumps for 4-7 seconds to 100%

Can anyone tell me why?

Note:  I use colorization since many years and it was NEVER a problem.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
