Details:

Hi, screen does not support italics on terminals which support it, e.g.
rxvt-unicode.  This is all the more disappointing as emacs trunk now supports
italics on terminals which do so.


To reproduce start a terminal emulator which is able to display italics:

urxvt  -fn 'xft:liberation mono' -tn rxvt-unicode-256color

do 

echo `tput sitm`italics`tput ritm` `tput smso`standout`tput rmso`

see italic font.

do 

screen

do

echo `tput sitm`italics`tput ritm` `tput smso`standout`tput rmso`

again

see no italic fonts.


Expected result: should show italics.


Thanx for looking into this, Gregor
