    _______________________________________________________

Details:

screen ignores the terminal type setting, either via the command line option
-T or via the .screenrc setting "term".  It always sets
TERM=screen.xterm-256color, but this is incompatible when SSH-ing into older
systems that don't have that terminal type defined.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
screen-4.4.0

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. screen -T screen
2. edit .screenrc, set "term screen"
3.

Actual results:
>env|grep TERM
TERM=screen.xterm-256color

Expected results:
>env|grep TERM
TERM=screen
