hey, that's really cool -- thanks!

yeah, that would be great -- but i'm still not sure how to put
conditionals into the muttrc file ...
maybe i could put those all in two different files, say
~/.mutt/rc.colors.1 and ~/.mutt/rc.colors.2, and then pick which one
to source based on the name of the terminal i'm working in.
but how do i find out the name? $DISPLAY is just ":0.0"; $TERM says
"rxvt" ... if i do an `aterm -name foobar`, is there any way i can
access the name 'foobar' from within that, by means of setting some
environment variable or something?
thanks again,
