a quick but does-the-job solution is to use "source ~/.muttrc-$TERM" from
your .muttrc file. of course the files can go anywhere to avoid
"dot-clutter", and can have settings (or not) for color, etc.
you can have several plain files (.muttrc-vt100, .muttrc-xterm, etc) or
just link similar terminal names to one file...
