Hi,

I find the default color profile of mutt on my Suse 10.3 machine very
pleasing. But, where are these default defined? I'd love to put them in
my .muttrc so I can have them on other systems as well.

Any suggestions?

Suggestion #1 is to post the question in the right newsgroup, which in this
case would be comp.mail.mutt. But don't do that yet because you will surely
be told to go read the manual for such a basic question.

If you don't have your own .muttrc mutt will use the system version, found at
/etc/Muttrc (note the capital M). So,

Suggestion #2 is to copy /etc/Muttrc to your home directory (~/.muttrc) and
edit the bejeezus out of it. Lastly, sounds like you could use a good
beginner's guide to mutt. Here, have mine:
http://therandymon.com/content/view/42/98/ (HTML and PDF versions).

12,000 downloads can't be wrong. It covers set up, usage, and more advanced
configuration. Happy mutting.
