[neomutt-users] Fwd: Neomutt and OS X terminal: Can't get color to show in Terminal

[Andrew Sullivan]

Hmm. The currently-working mac is a brew system, but the other (whose video 
died recently) was a macports system and had the same version. I've never 
heard of this issue before. Are you using terminal, not xterm?  Some xterm 
arrangements make them 2-bit only, though I can't recall that in any recent 
OS X release.

Have you run with the debug levels turned up?  I have found that very 
helpful especially on Mac. Maybe it can't see your .muttrc and is falling back.
