You don't need to use *any* termcap entries with Emacs compiled with
DJGPP.  That version has its own internal terminal emulator which accesses
the screen directly.  Using termcap, even if set up correctly (which isn't
easy), will defeat some of the features that the DJGPP version supports
otherwise, and it has never been thoroughly tested, so some bugs might
surface.  If your system defines environment variables TERM and/or
TERMCAP, please undefine them and see if Emacs works correctly.  If not,
please explain what are the problems that you experience when you 
undefine TERM.

Also, please reconfigure your mail software so that it won't include HTML 
tags in the message, because it confuses some mailers on the net (mine is 
one of them) and makes it hard to reply to your messages.
