See terminfo(5).  Note that this only documents what capabilities
are available to describe terminals.  It doesn't mean that those
capabilities are actually used by a specific application.

There's only provision for a single 'key_enter' (enter/send key) code -
"@8" in termcap.

Check if you have $TERMCAP as the terminal's expanded termcap entry.
TERMCAP='...' mutt
works for me.
