First off, xterm != screen.

Search the list for my terminfo definition for screen-256color.  Then,
compile it with tic and set the following in .screenrc:

term "screen-256color"

If that isn't enough (can't remember if this takes effect soon enough
for commands run in .screen to see the change to TERM), change the
above lines to

screen -t mutt $SHELL -c "TERM=screen-256color /usr/bin/mutt"
