BTW, what should my $TERMCAP look like to keep Mutt happy? Thanks!

Running Cygwin/Mutt on a win95 box. No probs, other than I can't get
any color in Mutt -- shell prompt is in color though.

$TERM=cygwin

I've tried setting it to ansi, pcansi25, and a bunch of others - no
joy! Any ideas/suggestions?

Also, Mutt refuses to load my external editor pointed to by $EDITOR.
I tried to point to it in "muttrc", but my syntax must be screwed.
The editor is outside the cygwin environment -- i.e. cygwin root is
h:/cygwin; my editor is in c:\dir\filename. Ideas? Tia...
