I suffer this annoyance with Debian 2.1's mutt, which uses slang (mutt
-v below).
I seem to remember that there are reasons for some people to prefer
slang rather than ncurses, so, is there any way of solving the problem
while using slang?
Presumably there is, because one person reported that they don't have
the problem with "System: HP-UX B.10.20 [using slang 10202]".
