Well, for mutt to work, i have to change TERM to xterm-color in my profile. I know that's a kludge, but it works. Unless i can find a way to make the host box display colors on a vt100 terminal. Is there any other TERM setting besides 'xterm-color' that works in color with mutt? jm -- -------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org The spice must flow.... -------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
