Hello,

when I'm working at the console cons25 seems to be efficient,
especially when using mutt & slrn.

But once I start up X, and try to use slrn & mutt in xterm, with
cons25 defined as the TERM, text becomes slightly garbled. If I define
TERM as xterm, then it works in Xterm(the terminal emulator),even
though some colours don't show, but the text is garbled in the
console. If I define TERM as xterm-color, then programs work under X
in Xterm, but are definitely garbled in console.

Is there a terminal setting that is fully functional in console and
under Xterm in X ? If not, do you have any workarounds for this
problem ?
