I recommend you take this question to the mutt users list.  Just in the
last few weeks there was a thread about the 256-color feature.  (I haven't
patched it in myself, but hope to soon.)

What do you use Mutt under, if not X?  The console?  A Windows-based
terminal emulator?  If the latter, and specifically PuTTY, soon Alain
Bench's (all-around wizard for mutt, terminal emulators, character sets,
etc. etc.) terminfo descriptions for PuTTY should make it into the
(Tom Dickey's) terminfo database.

I can get 256 colors from the csh shell on NetBSD using PuTTY.  Test with
the perl program "256colors2.pl" by Todd Larason.
