mutt + screen = broken colours?

[Pau <vim.unix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I would like to use mutt with screen. My problem is that my defined
colours (see bottom) are not displayed correctly on screen. I am using
TERM=xterm-xfree86 in my zshrc, but TERM=screen doens't help.

Typically the background is not uniform but has white lines randomly displayed.

I don't think this is a mutt problem, but the way the term is called
on screen. I am asking here if anybody else has had a similar problem
and a fix to it,

thanks

Pau

# If you also use a transparent terminal, put this in your .zshrc export
# COLORFGBG="default;default"

# The first field is the command color. Second field is the object you want to
# alter in mutt. The third and fourth field specify the foreground and
background
# color. If there is a fifth field, its the regular expression you want your
# colors to apply to. Change default to another color if you want another
# background color. Color values can be preceded by "bright" resulting in bold,
# bright text. Consult the mutt manual for more info.
