mutt colors in xterm
hi to all, keeping on tracking, customizing my mutt, my question now is: how can i teach mutt to use all of my .muttrc inclusive of colors and keymappings in xterm/XFree86 environment?

This is somewhat off-topic; where your mail is delivered is the
job of the mail delivery agent (MDA) and not that of the mail
user agent (MUA). For example, if you are using procmail as the
MDA, as I am, then if you specify a value for $DEFAULT in your
~/.procmailrc file, then any mail that "falls off the end" of the
rcfile will be delivered to $DEFAULT. Is that what you
desire?
