mutt does - but there are some missing pieces.  The calls using the macro
BKGDSET are either incomplete, or there is needed some related calls to the
bkgd function.

        #if !defined(USE_SLANG_CURSES) && defined(HAVE_BKGDSET)
        #define BKGDSET(x) bkgdset (ColorDefs[x] | ' ')
        #else
        #define BKGDSET(x)
        #endif

(if I had less work to do, I'd have a patch for mutt, but have been busy
on - besides my day job - xterm, lynx, ncurses and vile within the past
month).
