   # mutt -v

/usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz says this:

   as a transparent color.

How is it that you insist that ``"default" background is black in mutt"?

Since I require special locale settings, &c., I use a wrapper script to
call mutt, like this:

   ## rxvt -font 9x15 -e /usr/bin/mutt &
   xterm -name mutt -e /usr/bin/mutt &

You make several interesting suggestions that I will try soon.  Thank
