Someone sent me his gnome terminfo from the RH7 ncurses rpm package,
which seems to work out-of-the-box for me.

I've also tried your gnome terminfo from the ncurses-5.2 tarball.
As far as I understand, this route would require patching mutt's
keymap.c, because these key mappings are hardcoded, right?

Hmm, what would you think about adding vt220-style support as a
compile option for mutt's 'configure' or better as a configuration
variable for .muttrc or still better as a command line option?
