Colors in Mutt

[Subba Rao]

I have ncurses installed on my system and have the following colors
in my ~/.muttrc

color header      magenta  default  "^date: *"
color header      yellow   default  "^from: *"
color header      green    default  "^subject: *"
color header      cyan     default  "^to: *"
color header      cyan     default  "^delivered-to: *"
color header      cyan     default  "^cc: *"
color header      cyan     default  "^bcc: *"
color header      yellow   default  "^reply-to: *"

Each time I start mutt, I get the following errors.

Error in /home/subb3/.muttrc, line 65: default: no such color
Error in /home/subb3/.muttrc, line 66: default: no such color
Error in /home/subb3/.muttrc, line 67: default: no such color

The output of the command "mutt -v" gives the following info.

I see only the standard colors(foreground and background) of the xterm.
None of the colors in ~/.muttrc take effect. The xterm is a color-xterm.

the colors?

Thank you in advance.
