Hi.

First of all, you are welcome. I am glad that I could help.

Now, on to your question... Yarn will automatically (automagically?)
run mpack/munpack, depending upon whether you want to encode or decode
a file attachment. Since you indicated that you put a command line for
munpack in your Yarn config, that will suffice.

No problem... Here is the color portion of my Yarn config:

# The color statement has the syntax
#
# color <name> <foreground> <background>
#
# where <foreground> and <background> specify a color using the numbers
# 0 to 15, or the keywords
#
# black, blue, green, cyan, red, magenta, brown, lightgray,
# darkgray, lightblue, lightgreen, lightcyan, lightred,
# lightmagenta, yellow, white

# USENET headers
color header magenta black

# specific USENET headers
color header-From lightgray black
color header-Subject lightgray magenta

# article body
color body lightmagenta black

# quoted text
color quote cyan black

# more line
color more black cyan

# display colors
color window-border cyan black
color window-title cyan black
color window-text white black

color list-border cyan magenta
color list-title lightcyan magenta
color list-text white magenta
color list-select white magenta

color form-border cyan magenta
color form-title white magenta
color form-text white magenta
