I use -nw when called from Mutt in tmux. Typically that combination is
run in an Xfce Terminal instance.

We found that Xfce Terminal also consumes Ctl-PageUp/Down and F11. I'm
sure they could be disabled but it seems that doing so isn't as simple
as in Gnome Terminal where a single checkbox disabled all short cuts
except Alt-Space which Xfce still consumed.
I may just have to give Xterm a try for this combination and see how I
like it.
