Send menu colors for To: etc.

[Peter P.]

Hi,

Using the latest mutt on Debian testing (Mutt 1.9.1) I notice that the
color scheme of the Send menu has changed in as the To: Cc: etc fields
now have a solid white background. I would like to reverse this to the
old coloring but can't seem to find a quick way of doing it. I must
admit that I do not have the time to read through all of mutt's coloring
options and documentation, hence let me ask on this list if someone has
a quick pointer to what to change where. Any answer is much appreciated!

Hi Peter,

Debian testing and experimental now package 'mutt' and 'neomutt' separately.
'mutt' is the package from the official maintainer whereas 'neomutt' has
the extra patches. To achieve what you want it's probably enough to install
the 'neomutt' package rather than 'mutt'.

Thank you Wim. Installing and running neomutt on Debian does not give me
any colors at all, ie vim is launched without a mail syntax coloring
file.

Is it correct that Debian had neomutt packaged as mutt before and I was
most likely using neomutt without knowing recently?

best, P

Replying to myself here: Yes, this is a known neomutt bug and should not
be discussed here.

Thanks again Wim and please excuse the extra noise.
