% I have a Wy30+ serial terminal that is currently sitting in my living room. It is 
currently connected to my workstation in my room, which in turn is connected to my 
mail server in my basement via Cat-5. I would like to be able to use mutt using the 
serial terminal, so I don't have to get up to read me mail. ;)

Of course not -- that's what networks are for! :-)


% 
% The problem is that mutt does not display correctly on the terminal. I can get the 
header and footer of the main screen to display, but not all the messages are 
displayed, and some of them are wrapped over onto the next line, which throws 
everything underneath it off.

Have you tried running mutt with TERM=vt100?  That's pretty basic and
simple, and should be a good start.


% 
% I use ssh to connect to the mail server, and I am using the wy30 entry /etc/termcap 
for terminal emulation. I have attached the output of "stty -a" to this message.

I see that you're set to 24x80, which should do.  Someone who knows what
he's reading might ask you for your termcap entry, but it's all Greek
to me :-)
