Hey all.
I am getting my mutt configs nicely whipped into shape, but I am
missing one thing: colors when reading or writing mail. I am using
mutt 1.3.18i with the vvv patches, and I have the following lines in
my .muttrc (I thought these were supposed to handle the task):
set editor="vim -c '/^$/+1' -u '~/.mutt/mutt.vimrc'"
# mutt.vimrc is the one distributed with mutt.
# Color definitions
#
# Tuned for white background
#
color normal black white
color hdrdefault red white
color signature blue white
color indicator red white
color error brightred white
color status red white
color tree magenta white
color tilde magenta white
color message cyan white
color markers cyan white
color attachment brightmagenta white
color search white green
color quoted blue white # quoted text
color quoted1 magenta white
color quoted2 red white
color quoted3 green white
color quoted4 cyan white
color quoted5 blue white
color quoted6 magenta white
color quoted7 red white
color quoted8 green white
color quoted9 cyan white
color underline brightgreen white
color index blue white "~N"
color index magenta white "~T"
color index red white "~D"
color header red white "^(From|Subject):"
# point out url's
color body magenta white
"((ftp|http|https)://|(file|mailto|news):|www\\.)[-a-z0-9_.:]*[a-z0-9](/[^][{}
\t\n\r\"<>()]*[^][{} \t\n\r\"<>().,:!])?/?"
color body blue white "[-a-z_0-9.+]+@[-a-z_0-9.]+"
color body red white "(^|)\\*[-a-z0-9äöüß*]+\\*[,.?]?[ \n]"
color body green white "(^|)_[-a-z0-9äöüß_]+_[,.?]?[ \n]"
color body red white "^(From|Subject):"
# smilies and the like
color body green white "<[Gg]>"
color body green white "<[Bb][Gg]>"
# see also the variables smileys
color body green white ">?[;:][-^]?[][)(><}{|/DP][)}]*"
color body green white ">?[;:][-^]?[)(><}{|/DP][)}]*"
Sorry for the long lines.
Anyway, I would like to see these colors when reading and composing
mail, as well as the final stage mail composition window (where you
finalize the headers, attachments, etc, and give the final sendoff).
Any ideas what I am missing? I get colors in vim when I edit shell
scripts, C code, perl, etc. What am I doing wrong? I am sure it is a
config issue, because I don't get these colors on my RH 6.2 box at
home or my Mandrake 7.1 box at work. I'm still fighting to get the
VVV patch port to build right on FreeBSD - FreeBSD is great, but the
ports are a pain.
Anyway, as always, help is appreciated, wether explicit, pointer to
the info, rtfm, etc.
Thanks
Lou
