I do not know about your specific problem -- mutt and trn, but here is what I do on my providers system. Copy /etc/terminfo/l/linux (of your machine) to $HOME/.terminfo (on the machine your are telneting to). then in .bashrc export TERMINFO=$HOME/.terminfo export TERM=linux /*********************** Running Debian Linux *********************** * For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, * * that whoever believes in Him should not perish...
