I've had similar problems with FreeBSD 3.4 and mutt 1.2i (I don't remember
whether I had similar problems with earlier versions of mutt). It appears
to be related to the curses used in 3.4 (I'm assuming that you compiled
with ncurses). I've noticed that configure indicates that none of the
features used for color by mutt are detected although ncurses.h is found
and the compilation completes just fine.
Compiling with slang should solve the problem. Since this works, I
haven't taken the time to try and track down the problem with curses any
further. AFAIK FreeBSD 3.4 uses an older version of curses for
compatability reasons. The problem has been fixed under 4.0.
I use slang on my 3.4 box (colors work fine). Curses works just fine with
4.0
