I think having it default to xterm might be a good idea... despite the fact that there is now an Eterm entry in termcap and the Eterm terminfo files are installed, we may still have some compatibility issues, like this one. This is, of course, just for defaults. I, personally, copy the standard mutt themes into my homedir and modify to suite my personal tastes, and I suspect most power users who feel they may benefit from TERM=Eterm (actually, what *are* the benefits, if any?) would do the same. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD/88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
