I just had to write a wrapper so I could have gkrellm call mutt. Originally mutt

I think that the problem is in my /etc/profile

This may be what is throwing off the TERM var. Because when I comment out the
wait line, mutt comes up in mono again.
any suggestions?

What bothers me about this approach, in general, is that it's not
supposed to depend on your shell -- you're not supposed to need to make
