Looking at the Makefile it does it appear that ncurses is used by
default, but in my experience it is not.  I had to specify an option at
build time to cause ncurses to be used.  Alas, I forget what it was.  I
read about it somewhere on the Web (maybe NetBSD's Web site).  I've
tried searching for it but haven't been able to find it again.

Anyway, when I first built Mutt, I assumed that it was built with
ncurses.  I found that this was not the case.  Try to the following to
be sure whether Mutt is linked with ncurses:

ldd /usr/pkg/bin/mutt

Substitute "/usr/pkg/bin" with the correct location if that is not where
Mutt is installed.

Sorry that I don't recall the build option, but I do remember having to
use it.
