Yes, I imagine I'll end up there eventually. But mutt worked with
relatively minimal work, and slrn was perfect from the first time I

I have added the command to my (newly-created) .Xresources file
suggested by Michael:

xterm*metaSendsEscape: true

and I've now got a working alt-key, so the immediate problem is
solved. I'll look into the advanced features of Xterm that you folks
have kindly pointed me towards:
