Defaulting system to mono display

[Karsten Heymann <karsten.heymann@gmx.de>]

Hi List,

what is the best/correct way to tell the system that it's running on a
mono-display? Esp. I want mutt to use colours when reading mail over ssh
from my notebook, but using plain b/w mode when reading mail on my
mailrouter's mda (yes, not even hercules!) display. Is there a global
option and how do i set it (maybe /etc/environment)?

Hoping for help,

Karsten
