        Hm.  there must be "something" in Muttrc.  I dont see it in my
        local ~/.muttrc; this "something" is controlling every /search
        term and highlighting it.  

        the regular vim /tmp/foofile.c /tmp/footext is fine.  it's only
        in mutt that highlights EVERY instance that I'm searching for.
        I'll figure it out eventually if you don't know offhand.  or
        anybody else.  

        maybe I should just find keith bostic's newvi; see if they have it 
        for linux; theyve got everything else... {grumble}

        thanks, polyt.
