Right now, and what has worked, is that putty sends itself as xterm, and this is what the server also sees and sets TERM=xterm. Some further info, in case it's meaningful. # which mutt alias mutt='$HOME/usr/local/bin/mutt' This is because my provider will not upgrade from Mutt 1.4.1i. Also, while composing this email with vi, I've noticed that both the Home and End keys toggle the case of the character under the cursor. This is with Putty 0.58, if that helps.
