I'm just using Terminal.app. What confused me slightly was that this wasn't happening on another NetBSD machine i use, which has a very similar set up to the FreeBSD server in that it had no X on it. I'll have to check what the environment and termcap settings are on that. Although, i'm not sure color with mutt works at all on that one. Again, not entirely why although it seems like it might a related or similar explanation. Jamie.
