Reply was from handheld. Now more precise: headers in
compose menu, current message in index, status line and top bar
in index - all are displayed bold for me.

That was wrong info: only TERM=xterm-256color works for me.
Any other TERM value lead to no bold, not even simple colors
are displayed in mutt (via gnu-screen or directly in xterm).

gnu-screen has italic support (which can be seen in vim for
example when edit markdown file with syntax enabled) at least in
version compiled from https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/screen.git
master (pre 5.0 branch?),
f0d6154b95075f1e1198cd1fd12f7516cca57add (Date: Mon Apr 27
18:24:37 2020 +0200). Still no 5.0 tag in git.  Most recent
v4.9.0 version branch has _lot_ of commits which are not on
master at all, may be meanwhile has even italic support merged
in.

Everything with "bold" on my end:

  color header bold color25 color252 "^(Date:|To:|From:|CC:)"
  color header bold color133 color252 "^Subject:"
  color indicator bold color16 color153
  color status bold color16 color153

cheers,
Anton
