title: Emacs 256 colors not working using PuTTY and screen
body: <p>I'm having trouble getting 256 colors to work using emacs 23.1.1 connecting using PuTTY and screen.  Server is running CentOS 5.6.</p>
  
  <p>In my PuTTY config, my terminal-type string is set to <code>xterm-256color</code>.  In my <code>.screenrc</code> I have <code>term xterm-256color</code> Once in screen <code>tput colors</code> gives me <code>256</code>, <code>echo $TERM</code> gives me <code>xterm-256color</code>, but once I start emacs <code>M-x list-colors-display</code> only gives me 8 colors.</p>
  
  <p>Not sure what the problem is.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
