:Hmm, silly me, I found that the mutt on the remote Linux box had been
:compiled with S-Lang.  I've been using ncurses for everything else.
:Rebuilding with ncurses has fixed the problem, obviously some sort of
:S-Lang/rxvt incompatibility.

Here's something to check (Make sure you use single quotes in the first
line or otherwise quote the dollar sign):

% ssh -l cgreen x-1.net 'echo $TERM'
<answer1>
% ssh -l cgreen x-1.net
x-1.net% echo $TERM
<answer2>

Make sure <answer1> and <answer2> are the same.  Also check TERMINFO and
TERMCAP depending upon what's set up.  I use mutt with S-Lang with no
problems.
