Ok, now I've gone through all the trouble of getting the latest mutt sources from CVS (because bulding 1.5.6 against slang is broken), updating my patches to work with the CVS version (and submitting a bug report to hopefully get them included), copmiling and installing it, and I re-discovered what my problem is with slang. I make heavy use of colorization for visual queues in mutt. I also strongly prefer my terminals to be a particular shade of dark blue. Using mutt with Slang makes that impossible. So I also have to set an environment variable to give Slang default colors that work. But it has to paint every character cell, which is very gross over a remote link. Yucky. Derek
