The problem is, that the config string is read/sourced from a Config
file like:

MUA="mutt -F ${HOME}/.tdnewmsg/muttrc -f"
TERMINAL="xterm -class XTerm -name XTerm -geometry 80x30+250+200 -xrm 
*VT100*font6 -title mutt/tdnewmsg -n mutt -e bash -l -c "

and then in the script I have:

----8<--------------------------------------------------------------
  if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
    DIRSEL="+${RET}"
    if   [ -n "${DISPLAY}" ] ; then
      DISPLAY=${DISPLAY} ${TERMINAL} ${MUA} ${DIRSEL} &
    elif [ -z "${DISPLAY}" ] && [ "${TERM}" != "dumb" ] ; then
      ${MUA} ${DIRSEL} &
    fi
  fi
----8<--------------------------------------------------------------

The only thing I have changed was my ~/.Xresources/XTerm

And its realy weided, that mutt does not accept the

    -F ${HOME}/.tdnewmsg/muttrc

but reading instead

    ${HOME}/.mutt/muttrc

And then there is a second problem:  My XTerm is white (like you
have deleted all XTerm resources).  XTerm does not more read
~/.Xresources/XTerm like before
