Colored diffs with mutt

I cannot stand reviewing patches with gmail or any GUI e-mail client. I use mutt. On my last post I explained how you can apply patches directly from within mutt onto a git tree with a few shortcuts without leaving the terminal. This small post provides the next step to allow you to grow a mustache... I mean, get you to enjoy your mutt experience even more when reviewing patches by getting you colored diffs to match the same colors provided to you by good 'ol 'git diff'. Edit your .muttrc file and add these.
