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.=20
