Mutt is still in black and white.  It is in colour when using Cygwin itself
but remains black and white when run in a SSH session with Putty.  Putty is
set to xterm and I tried setting Cygwin to xterm using "export TERM=xterm". 

I also tried vt100.  Any other ideas?

NB. after running mutt in SSH, it is also black and white is subsequent mutt
sessions back in Cygwin, until I close/restart Cygwin.


Thanks - Dan
