I'm guessing that mutt and pico are compiled with two different
terminal lookup schemes; mutt using terminfo and pico using terminfo
(or vice versa I guess). Red Hat, for example, still ships both the
latest ncurses and libtermcap for some unknown reason. This makes
programs that look for termcap first use it, and the same for
terminfo. The terminal descriptions can sometimes do different things
between the two schemes in my experience.
