I have only recently started using the standard Ubuntu mutt as I have
only recently started using Ubuntu. So, thanks for that. I had not
realsied that Ubunta does it that way. In fact I had not looked at any
of the ssytem muttrcs. I had just updated and tuned my old ones that
have evolved over more than a decade.
Another color question - where is the default color defined? My muttrc
uses default for the background all the time and it is obviously white
as I prefer, but I do not see it defined. The Ubuntu muttrcs do not use
default, but define the background as black.
