Sounds to me like Tera Term doesn't like something about the ANSI color escapes used by Mutt. Since Mutt works fine under normal circumstances, the fault probably lies with Tera Term in how it recognizes/interprets color escapes. Sounds like your TERM environment is okay since Vim works. Did you build Mutt with SLang or ncurses? That might be the culpret possibly. ideas: Try other tty-based color programs such as lynx, slrn, elvis, whatever. See if you can isolate consistencies among the color resources that don't work. IE, do all your curses-based color programs work? All your SLang-built programs work? Etc. I don't know a thing about Tera Term, so more than this I cannot say. I think I remember some TTY related info from Sven Guckes homepage. You can search for it or I can find it for you if you can't.
