Colors seem to be fine, including the use of "default", with SLang.

Since we're on the topic of Mutt, are there people using it with Japanese?
While it's certainly usable, I seem to be getting quite a bit of "mojibake."
Even some mail I can read okay with mailx will have a few characters wrong
in mutt.

For example, a small excerpt from the help menu:

N           select-new             $B$3$N%G%#%?%/%H%?C?$N?7$7$$%U%!%$%?$?A*B?$9$?(B
O           sort-reverse           $B%?%C%;!<%8$N5U=?@0N?(B
c           change-dir             $B%G%#%?%/%H%?$?JQ99(B
m           enter-mask             $B%U%!%$%?!&%^%9%/$?F?NO(B
o           sort                   $B%?%C%;!<%8$N@0N?(B

Some trick to know about?
