So what can be sourced? I had assumed using the entry
/home/kyonshi/.mutt/colorschemes/solarized-dark-256.neomuttrc would
allow me to use the theme in question, but neither this nor
/home/kyonshi/.mutt/colorschemes/ seems to work.


According to the neomutt website it should be

"Usage

Add the following code in your neomuttrc:

source /path/to/neomutt/colorschemes "

but I assumed I was using this the correct way.
