This is the line that goes inside your screenrc.
OK. Now the command makes sense. What I'm unclear about is why I would need to change anything where mutt is concerned since just running screen under your terminfo entry everything works fine. It's mainly weechat-curses crashing that's a problem. As mentioned before, it's the weechat developers that might help me with this if they're kind enough to take a look. After all it's not really their problem either since they could always say that the fault lies with the terminfo entry. > > >> Also, remember that you need a special version of ncurses for > >> wide-character support.
