I'm not familiar with anti-term (neither is Google) so I'll assume you mean ansi-term. Moving on.... Does the line in your muttrc file that sources your colors file include the colon? I have lines in my muttrc file such as: source ~/.mutt/colorrc but there is no colon. I tried to put a colon in there: :source ~/.mutt/colorrc but when I started Mutt it complained and then I had no color. (The colon is for when you want to issue a command to Mutt when it is already running. It is the default key binding for enter-command.) So, I'm guessing that while I saw Mutt complain about this, you did not, because the complaint is lost inside your Emacs key binding. To confirm this, try to start Mutt the old fashioned way (well not really, you're still inside Emacs): M-x ansi-term $ mutt What happened? Did Mutt complain? If so, try taking the colon out of your muttrc file and try it again. -- Monte
