default color transparency broken in Snow Leopard
Since upgrading to Snow Leopard my colour definitions are messed up. Anywhere where I set the colour I use 'default' for the background colour so that it remains whatever the current background colour is. With the upgrade this no longer works, the background gets set to ANSI white (grey). For example in my .muttrc file I have: color error brightred default Where I a black on white Terminal.app screen the error will be red on grey. Using 'default' for the background is supposed to leave it set as it was. In this way, by just setting foreground colors, the same settings may be usable with different background colors in Terminal.app (e.g. white on black). Apparently this functionality is provided by an extension to curses provided in ncurses; use_default_colors(). I aquired the latest source and built it myself, I had been using macports, and I see that it sets HAVE_USE_DEFAULT_COLORS and links against Apple's ncurses library. Has anyone any idea what is wrong here? -- -Vance

With the upgrade this no longer works, the background gets set to ANSI white (grey). Interesting. I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I didn't notice anything like that. On the other hand, I use my own termcap definitions, so my guess is that that's what's changed for you: the Snow Leopard termcap definitions have changed. What's your TERM setting? I use nsterm-16color for Apple's Terminal.app (I modified it slightly to enable the alt-screen feature, but that shouldn't be necessary to get the right colors). ~Kyle - -- I am ready to meet my Maker.

sending new message to a list
I can't find a way to compose *new* mail to a list without entering the To: address manually. Tried running searches, the manual, and this list's archives to no avail. Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms. I'm looking for something like Alpine's A method to send a message to the entire list (Post). Not a deal breaker but it would be handy. Any help appreciated. -- Bob Holtzman Key ID: 8D549279 If you think you're getting free lunch, check the price of the beer signature.asc Description: Digital signature
