Sometimes I hit 'c' in the pager to open a different folder. Before I type the name of the folder to go to, new mail arrives in the _current_ folder. Result: most of the screen goes blank, including the status line; only the prompt asking me for the destination folder stays put. If I hit ^G I get back to the normal pager, with the expected "New mail in this mailbox" message at bottom.
This is harmless but looks scary and rubs on my old nerves. Is there a fix, or a config change I can do to make it go away? -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages. Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court.
