When I start it, things are fine for a few minutes, and the default colors (for things like the unused portion of the display or quoted text) are fine. Then after a few minutes, the default colors will get changed to yellow-on-black, or black-on-red, or some other strange thing. I haven't been able to track down exactly what causes this. Sometimes it happens when going through my inbox; sometimes from doing a '/' to search for a string. The only thing I can say is that the new default colors seem to have been picked from some line that was being displayed by sup. For example, a few times when an "unreceived message" line was being displayed in a thread, and I moved the highlight over that line, the default colors got changed to the colors of that line (black on red in this case). I've seen this on both Fedora Core 4 with xterm, and OpenSUSE 10.2 with konsole. So it's possible it's a problem with older versions of ncurses. I'll try this on Ubuntu 8.10 at some point soon. Has anybody else noticed this?
