Coo, "make USE_NCURSES=yes install" works a treat, thanks :)

Although I'm stumped as to why it's still moaning:

Error in /home/sketch/.source/mutt/mutt.colour, line 96: default: no such color

-% ldd `which mutt`
/usr/pkg/bin/mutt:
         -lncurses.5 => /usr/pkg/lib/libncurses.so.5
         -lssl.2 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.2
         -lcrypto.1 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1
         -liconv.2 => /usr/pkg/lib/libiconv.so.2
         -lintl.0 => /usr/lib/libintl.so.0
         -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12

This is a seperate problem however which I'll figure out myself.  Thanks
for the help.
