No. His goal was to have transparent backgrounds if possible; if not, then
a white background. I told him how to get a transparent background. I've
got COLORFGBG="default;default", using S-Lang, and it works fine to have a
pixmap background. I've no real idea how S-Lang works, I just know this is
what works for me, and I got it from some FAQ somewhere.

It certainly is recognized. Do you perhaps have an old version of either
S-Lang or Mutt?
