| Thanx to you, Mutt is my MUA, too.

| Since I can't see this problem, we must be doing something 
| different.   My Mutt uses color and inverse video just fine
| and my screens look identical on either OpenServer or Linux.

Native SCO curses library.

| and "configure" are identical.   Are they for you?    I suppose the
| single most obvious place to look is for the entry:
| /* Does your curses library support color? */
| #define HAVE_COLOR 1

Yes, I have that too.

| Does config.log tell you anything you didn't already know?
 
Nope.

| 
| We can take it private if you like and just put the final solution 
| back on the list.      I'll send you my generated config.h suitable
| for diffing.

Which Robert did do, and the diffs were both trivial and unrelated to
terminals or colors.
