Package: tmux
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: normal
In /usr/share/doc/tmux/FAQ.gz, it is suggested that to get 256 color
terminal support all one needs to do is to set the default $TERM to
"screen-256color" and everything will Just Work; it seems this is not
actually the case.
Inside GNU screen, running the following command:
TERM=screen-256color tput setaf 10; echo hello
...yields the text "hello" in lime green. Inside tmux, the same command
yields the text "hello" in the default terminal foreground color.
Meanwhile, the following command *does* work as expected inside tmux:
TERM=xterm-256color tput setaf 10; echo hello
...but leaving TERM set to xterm-256color seems to have unfortunate
screen-corruption side-effects with mutt, so it's not really a useful
workaround.
