|Hhmm, when xterm replaces color_xterm, so why doesn't mutt
|(the elm-lookalike-but-fancier-colors-mail-reader) show in
|colors any longer. I tried with TERM=xterm-color and TERM=xterm
|and the world is two colored :-(
|
|Trying my backup copy of color_xterm brings back colors - just has this
|utmp nastiness.
|
|Has anyone tried it out? Would the new termcap.src help (donated by
|Xinside)?
I've been running mutt for some months now in color with no problems.
I dumped xterm-color (and xtermc on Solaris) as they neither one worked
flawlessly for me. Maybe this is slang; maybe the termcap entry. I don't
know.
But try this -- works for me:
1) Compile mutt with slang (not ncurses)
2) TERM=xterm
3) COLORTERM=y
The last var forces color without having to have a color termcap entry.
Works well. Great mailer with a great OS.
