A day or so ago, I posted that I couldn't get mutt working if I declared the termName as rxvt in .Xdefaults, but that it would work in a non-color terminal.
Embarrassing as the solution turned out to be, it's probably worth posting in case someone else is as careless--I don't mind being ignorant, but I dislike being stupid--oh well. Anyway, the problem was this--I was using a .muttrc that I use on another box--on that box my rxvt has a default of black background and white foreground. My .muttrc from that box also specifies a black background. You can probably guess the rest--on the box where I was having trouble, my default settings are gray background and black foreground, so it wasn't that mutt wasn't accepting keystrokes, it was simply that it was black text on a black background. -- Abashedly yours, Scott PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 D575 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 (In response to being asked to fight a troll) Spike: I would, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.
