Oddity with Mutt

[David J. Haines]

Hi all,

I have encountered what appears to be a bug in rxvt-unicode 9.20. I am
running the stock package for Arch Linux, which is configured with the
following options:

--prefix=/usr --with-terminfo=/usr/share/terminfo --enable-256-color
--enable-combining --enable-fading --enable-font-styles
--enable-iso14755 --enable-keepscrolling --enable-lastlog
--enable-mousewheel --enable-next-scroll --enable-perl
--enable-pointer-blank --enable-rxvt-scroll --enable-selectionscrolling
--enable-slipwheeling --disable-smart-resize
--enable-startup-notification --enable-transparency --enable-unicode3
--enable-utmp --enable-wtmp --enable-xft --enable-xim
--enable-xterm-scroll --disable-pixbuf --disable-frills

Here's the issue: If you open an instance of rxvt-unicode, either as a
client to a daemon or as a standalone instance, and in your shell you
run the mutt e-mail client, everything works as it should. If, however,
you run "urxvt -e mutt" or "urxvt -e bash -c mutt", folder hooks are not
run on startup. This is not the case in xterm, gnome-terminal, or any
other terminal I have tried, thus the bug report here. I am almost
certain that the question presented at the link below is the exact same
bug.

Odd behavior, and you wouldn't think that the terminal emulator would be
at fault for this sort of thing, but I've ruled out everything else.

Any thoughts?
