Dear fellow mutt users,
I am having a strange problem with different font/color behavior of
two instances of mutt with almost identical configuration files. These
two instances run on separate machines and otherwise have the same
behavior.
New mail in the index is yellow and bold, as set in muttrc using
color index brightyellow black ~N
My indicator is a bar, not an arrow, and is cyan, as set with
color indicator default cyan
Now in one instance new yellow+bold messages under the cyan
indicator continue being displayed in a bold font (the desired
behavior) while in the other instance their font is not bold.
I checked several variables such as
TERM=xterm
XTERM_LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8
XTERM_SHELL=/bin/bash
XTERM_VERSION='XTerm(312)'
and they are identical on both machines.
What could I be missing that affects the 'boldness' of the font under
the indicator line?
This sounds like a minor thing first, but over the last days I have
grown to understand how much more intuitive mail handling is with the
font remaining bold, hence my question here on the list.
Thank you for all hints on what I might be missing!
best, P
