If you want to run Mutt in color mode you currently need TOSWIN since
it seems to be the only terminal emulator that offers color support.
Now check out the location of your terminfo database resides.  If you don't have
a terminfo database yet, Mutt will build one for you in your home
directory upon first startup.

Now copy the file tw52 (it's a binary file, don't edit it) into 
<TERMINFO>/t/tw52 (replace <TERMINFO> with the path to your 
terminfo database).  I've prepared this file (tw52) to support
TOSWIN's color features.  

Now you should look either at sample.muttrc (in the top directory)
or guido.muttrc in this directory.  Remove the comments from the lines that
configure the color setup, merge them into your muttrc and start 
mutt again.  You should now see it in a different light.

Please go on reading with README.smail.
