They're not the same - so how do I fix it? :-)
ssh -l cgreen -x x-1.net 'echo $TERM' returns 'dumb', whereas
connecting to x-1.net and then 'echo $TERM' gives me the expected
'rxvt'.
I suppose I could have a little script on the remote system that does
something like:-
export TERM=rxvt
/home/d/cgreen/bin/mutt
It's difficult to test now anyway as it seems to work without when the
remote is compiled with ncurses. I'll bear the above in mind though,
thanks.
