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 --=20 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)=20 Spike: I would, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.=20 --1LKvkjL3sHcu1TtY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9txx1+lTVdes0Z9YRAgP9AJ9N5MnzkY5yS08FHDQaLzyyYHyepQCghRhc DvAmjZ64VK5lbmBSrKMk8+8= =FZrK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --1LKvkjL3sHcu1TtY-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
