BTW, I use screen in gnome-terminal.

I notice the following:

 - TERM is screen-bce;

 - VIM works fine, handles colors;

 - Mutt built with S-Lang does not start unless I set TERM to xterm or
   xterm-color; Mutt complains that "Key sequence is too long",
   "SLcurses_initscr: init failed";

 - If I set TERM=xterm then VIM thinks the terminal is monochrome;

 - If I set TERM=xterm then Mutt does produce colors;

 - If I set TERM=xterm-color then both, VIM and Mutt handle color.

Weird, no?  This is almost certainly a result of using different APIs
(VIM uses curses, Mutt uses S-Lang).  I believe my colleague Will F. has
shown that Mutt works fine with curses (ncurses).

This is all on Solaris.
