Here "term term-256color" in screenrc works if I do /not/ set $TERM in eg. bashrc explicitly. So I do roughly the following in bashrc: [ -z "$STY" ] && export TERM="xterm-256color" ($STY is set in a Screen session) and in screenrc: term "screen-256color" (I have screen built with 256 color support) c -- Python Mutt utilities <http://www.blacktrash.org/hg/muttils/>
