I use mutt too (in an rxvt), and TERM=xterm works wonderfully with colors. Hang on, will test mutt in plain xterm... yes, works there too. I do have customized my .muttrc and app-defaults/XTerm, however to use different colors from the standard ones. Maybe you have a stale termcap.db? cd /usr/src/share/termcap touch termcap.src make make install should run cap_mkdb termcap and install the termcap.db. # I suspect that a lot of # applications will do explicit testing for "[axvt]term-color". This is # naughty, but a fact of life. I wonder why/how these work on systems where the termcaps are also taken from the XFree86 xterm. Could it be something else that's different on your system? I find it hard to believe that any app would scan /etc/termcap and ignoring what it finds in the environment variable TERM.
