Getting color on FreeBSD

[Tim Chase]

I'm a bit stuck trying to figure out why colors aren't working for me
on FreeBSD (where I understand that termcap is used rather than
terminfo).

Things should be set correctly:

  $ echo $TERM
  xterm
  $ tput Co pa
  8
  64

I've also tried setting $TERM to xterm-256color 

  $ echo $TERM
  xterm-256color
  $ tput Co pa
  256
  32767

Attempting to set the color in mutt with

  color status blue white

works as expected on my Linux boxes but does nothing on my FreeBSD
box.

Colors work fine in vim and weechat.  Likewise

  $ tput AF 4; echo hello ; tput me

works, as does

  $ printf '\e[31mHello\e[0m'

So the terminal is doing color as expected, but somehow mutt/neomutt
doesn't seem to recognize that.  Is there some trick that I've missed
for getting mutt/neomutt to play well with termcap/FreeBSD?

Thanks,
