Greetings,
So... I finally upgraded. :-) No problems on my irix box. However,
there are a few problems with the new version on my friend's linux
box. Version info is:
Mutt 1.2.5i (2000-07-28)

I did:
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME
$ make
$ make install
Problem #1:
Every time I invoke mutt, it seems to instantly and persistently
redefine my terminal window characteristics as if I had a 24-line
screen (I use 80x40 xterm windows, with TERM=xterm). So whether I
invoke a shell-escaped command or simply read a message with less(1)
(which I use as my pager in mutt), the output or message is messed
up. When I exit mutt, the display is still in 24-line mode until I
execute "reset", which allows me again to use my full 40 lines.
Problem #2:
If I execute "mutt -p", highlight a postponed message and hit ENTER
to select it, it dumps core with:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I experience neither of these problems with 0.95.4:
Mutt 0.95.4us (1999-03-03)

Can someone help me get mutt working correctly?
Thanks!

P.S. I have not altered my .muttrc file during the upgrade except to
newly define "spoolfile".
