Never mind re any option to turn off blinking. When I could not
get a line in my .Xdefaults file to work:
XTerm.showBlinkAsBold: True
I realized I probably set this in my .tcshrc file, so I changed my
defaults there:

I just installed the current X packages, noticing that a new xterm
package also was installed.
I'm getting lots of blinking screens, under mutt, and sometimes just
entering simple text?

xterm patch #185 implements blinking text.
offhand, if you're using mutt linked with slang, it misuses blink
attribute in the expectation that the terminal emulator will either
ignore it or produce a bright background.

I can see that this could be a nice feature for some users. However,
can I set an option to suppress blinking, e.g., similar to being
able to use +bc to turn off text cursor blinking?
Thanks.

It's a resource-setting (noting that my wording is a little convoluted):
showBlinkAsBold (class ShowBlinkAsBold)
Tells xterm whether to display text with blink-attribute the
same as bold. If xterm has not been configured to support
blinking text, the default is ``true.'', which corresponds to
older versions of xterm, otherwise the default is ``false.''
assuming that's what we're talking about, "xterm -v" would show
XFree86 4.4(185)

I just discovered this on my own: seee my last email. However,
my .tcshrc commands were overriding this.
However, this does not change blinking in mutt; I'll work on that.
Thanks.
