Thanks for your response!  Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you.
(Screwed up my confirmation to the list.)

I am using Konsole on KDE, and using ssh to connect to the machines where I
run mutt.  For both connections, $TERM is set to xterm.


I just realized that, on both machines, emacs sees shift+return as ^[OM.
So it does seem that there's something different within mutt between the
two machines.


thanks,
Ronald
