Note that I can't use TERM=xterm* since I'm not using X for this. Doug.
Re: how get colour mutt when ssh from OBSD?
yes... it doesn't help I thought left-clicking on the xterm, and selecting Backarrow Key (BS/DEL) would do it, and afterwards typing `stty erase ` and then ctrl-v and then hitting backspace and enter... but that's only for xterm. What, if you're using a different terminal, like aterm, eterm, konsole or gnome-terminal? you don't have that menu... I also saw this... but... don't know... http://www.hypexr.org/linux_roboff.php Did you use TERM=screen on both ends of the ssh, i.e. on OBSD before ssh and on linux after ssh? Try TERM=screen.

If you're on net and freebsd, pcvt25 works fairly well. Logging into linux, I generaly use vt220 or vt102. Yahoo! wsvt25 works just fine obsd to debian, for mutt. Interestingly, it doesn't work so well natively on obsd. Also, I don't need to set it before sshing; standard vt220 on obsd and ssh to debian and set TERM=wsvt25 seems to work just fine. Thanks.

TERM=screen works well for both OBSD and linux so that's now my default screen type in /etc/ttys. Problem solved. Thanks. Doug.
Re: how get colour mutt when ssh from OBSD?
I had the same problem. I solved it using xterm-xfree86 but now I have a different one. I cannot use backspace to scroll up. The error message is Key is not bound. any idea of how to fix that?

On OpenBSD, the default colour term is vt220 so when I ssh to debian, TERM is set to vt220. When I run mc, all is well; colour, line draw, whatever. When I run lynx or mutt, I get black on white with no colour. On Lynx this means that my blue on gray ends up as white on black; with mutt I don't get the blue top and bottom lines or the red thread lines. If I ssh in from an xterm, with TERM=xterm, everything is fine. Does anyone have any clues on this? I've often wondered about this myself. All I know is that if I run mutt inside screen, I get colors. Terry
