Yep.

What kind of inconsitencies?  I have literally no problems whatsoever.  What do
you set "-tn" to when you run rxvt?  If I don't set it to anything, it will
default to "TERM=xterm", which works fine except mutt has no color (though stuff
like "ls --color" works fine, go figure).  If I set it to "-tn rxvt", mutt gets
color and everything is great.

Just a hunch, what's your CYGWIN= set to?

err, that should be export TERM=oldterm, excuse my drunkeness.

Same here. However, if you do not require color support, use a vt220
terminal and everything else seems to function alright.

( alias newmutt="export TERM=vt220; mutt; alias TERM=oldterm" )

rxvt and mutt incompatabilities

[C. Porter Bassett]

Is anybody out there running mutt and rxvt together?  I get display problems
and inconsistencies when I try to run mutt in rxvt.  In general, I have
gotten much better terminal emulation out of rxvt than out of the dos box,
except for when running mutt.
