Oh, I see!

Hm, "silently".  Shouldn't we consider this a bug?  I mean I was
desparately trying to set my colors right (for hours) and just couldn't
understand why mutt was ignoring _some_ (not the last!) settings.  A simple
message on stdout would have made my life a lot easier.

Hopefully, a responsible (:-) developer is reading this.

Thanks,
 Andy.
