alternatively, you could just launch xterm like:
$ xterm -tn xterm-color
it appears that you are using 4.8-RELEASE, but apparently sometime
around Aug 27, 2002 xterm's termcap entry supports color by default.
per /usr/src/UPDATING:
20020827:
Our /etc/termcap now has all the entries from the XFree86 xterm
almost unchanged. This means xterm now supports color by default.
If you used TERM=xterm-color in the past you now should use
TERM=xterm. (xterm-color will lead to benign warnings).

But those colours are so beautiful in combination... ;-)
Set
XTerm*termName: xterm-color
as well, if you want to be certain that anything that cares about ${TERM}
gets an appropriate value.

Xterm-color
Probably a no-brainer, but how can I make my xterm start as xterm-color? If I want color ls, I have to type TERM=xterm-color from the command line every time I start a new terminal window.

What versions of FreeBSD and Mutt are you running? I used to have very similar problems, but since upgrading to 4.7-STABLE and Mutt 1.4i, the problem has gone away. Of course, if for any reason you are not able to upgrade, this is only so much hot air, for which I apologise. ;-) Dan -- Daniel Bye PGP Key: ftp://ftp.slightlystrange.org/pgpkey/dan.asc PGP Key fingerprint: 3D73 AF47 D448 C5CA 88B4 0DCF 849C 1C33 3C48 2CDC _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML, vCards and X - proprietary attachments in e-mail / \ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
mutt and xterm-color problems
Hi, im using 'xterm-color' as TERM. I have a mutt color config that displays the headers in the message index with different colors (depending on sender). New and unread messages are colored with the same color but they are bright, or better should be. Heres the appropriate section: color index brightwhite default ~N # new messages color index green default "~f dom.ch" # from dom.ch color index brightgreen default "~N ~f dom.ch" # new from dom.ch color index cyandefault "~l"# my mailinglists color index brightcyan default "~N ~l" # new mailinglists color index yellow default "~P"# my mails color index brightyellowdefault "~N ~P" # new mails from myself The probles is that 'xterm-color' seems to have problems with displaying the bright colors, some subjects are displayed bright, some not, some only partial. 'rxvt' doesn't have that problem btw. Does anyone know how to fix that? Cheers, Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
