Bugzilla Bug 213810

Even though <backspace> is bound to previous-page in ~/.muttrc and in the top
line it says "<BackSpace>:PrevPg", the Backspace key is not working when
running mutt in a Konsole, but it does work in an xterm.

Googling I found http://www.webservertalk.com/message2183722.html
which suggests doing the equivalent of the following:
$ infocmp >thisterminfo
$ sed -i 's/kbs=^H/kbs=\\177/' thisterminfo
$ tic -x thisterminfo

Indeed, after that redefinition of the key, Backspace works in mutt on a
Konsole, but not any more on an xterm.  Hmm..., it would be better if Konsole
had its own terminfo entry.

(Bug only reported for others to easily find the workaround.)

I guess this should be addressed at the kde guys.

Has this issue been fixed in the meanwhile?  It sounds like a Konsole or
termcap problem unrelated to mutt.

this bug is still valid, mutt thinks backspace is another key in konsole and
says its not bound anywhere.

it works ok in rxvt-unicode.
