Either fortunately or unfortunately, most display issues in mutt
involve TERM settings in some way.

Leopard comes with the necessary stuff for several variants of nsterm,
but not nsterm-16color. You can install your own ncurses (e.g. via
MacPorts), which I usually do, and that *will* contain the necessary
nsterm-16color stuff, but system-provided programs won't use it.
*THAT* is why I first started toting around my own copy in my home
directory. :)

Termcap and terminfo aren't quite the same---termcap is older and
harder to work with. My Ubuntu install doesn't have an /etc/termcap
file either, and that's a good thing. However, I *do* have an
/etc/terminfo/ directory. In any event, Leopard stores its terminfo
files in /usr/share/terminfo.
The other reason I started toting around my own copy of nsterm-16color
is because the standard one doesn't contain descriptions for all the
features that Apple's Terminal can provide; in particular, it does
support an alternate display buffer (which allows programs like mutt
or vim to restore the previous contents of the terminal when they
exit) which the nsterm-16color file that comes with ncurses doesn't
include. So I had to modify it (the details are in the mutt archives)
to get exactly what I wanted... but that's me being picky. :)
