Unfortunately, no. When I run mutt I do first set TERM=rxvt prior to
launching mutt. I have verified via executing a shell command from mutt
that the TERM is in fact set to rxvt. I have also verified via a shell
command that the output of 'tput colors' is 256 .

Oh well, just a thought. It's just that using colors in gvim is so
easy; but in mutt, so hard (at least, for me). Sigh.
