Yes, I confirm. In emacs-23.0.91, after M-x eshell,
- TERM is set to 'dumb' by default. This has the effect that programs
won't try to use bold writing or colours.
- If I set TERM=eterm, programs which use the ANSI escape sequences for
bold writing and colours produce good output. However, programs which
use the escape sequences from the terminfo database entry for 'eterm'
(such as 'msgcat') produce suboptimal output (some escape sequences
are apparently being ignored). Test case:
$ wget
http://translationproject.org/PO-files/de/gettext-runtime-0.17.de.po
$ msgcat --color=always gettext-runtime-0.17.de.po
Maybe 'eterm' is not the right value for TERM in M-x eshell?
