That's a temp file, not a script. If you're going to use a script you need:#!/bin/bash echo -n c>>/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/flagsThough you probably want to flesh that out a little - only run the line if $1 is "post" and maybe echo some message to appear in the journal.

Try the following:urxvtc -e bash -i -c muttIf that works, then there's something in your bashrc that's enabling correct colours.Just one suggestion, -e mutt works correctly for me, and I set the TERM variable in .Xresources (.Xdefaults will also work), and not in any of the bash start-up files.

Nice one. Though it might be worth looking to see if there's a reason for the 20 seconds and if it can be reduced - often not, but you never know.

I'm connecting using http not https as my server's on the same machine.Are you using ca-certificate.crt? I was getting a start-up error with that  so created a cert.pem file. That could be a red herring though.

By "true transparency" I assume you are using something like transset-df rather than urxvt's own rgba settings, right?Pseudotransparency copies the wallpaper to the urxvt window background.Transset-df style transparency makes the entire urxvt window partially transparent - so this includes the text.Urxvt's own transparency makes only the window background transparent while keep

Some people put things like "export TERM=urxvt-256colors" in their .bashrc - that can lead to the sort of issues you are seeing...
