Mutt is still in black and white. It is in colour when using Cygwin itself
but remains black and white when run in a SSH session with Putty. Putty is
set to xterm and I tried setting Cygwin to xterm using "export TERM=xterm".
I also tried vt100. Any other ideas?
NB. after running mutt in SSH, it is also black and white is subsequent mutt
sessions back in Cygwin, until I close/restart Cygwin.
Thanks - Dan
