I have been using Mutt with Gmail IMAP for years on an older server running Debian 3.1, Linux kernel 2.6.20.1-1-686, and Mutt version 1.5.9 without problems for years.
Recently I installed Mutt on a newer server running Ubuntu 16.04.2, Linux 4.4.0-72-generic (x86_64, and Mutt version 1.5.24. ( In both cases I access these servers using ssh from windows/putty or mac/terminal but get the same result. ) I copied my .muttrc over from the old to the new machine. On the new machine there is a strange behavior using the index view. When I first start the application in terminal there is lack of a new line between the highlighted line and the next line. For example: 21551 N T Apr 25 eFax message A fax message21552 F Apr 25 The next mssg header 21553 N + Apr 25 ... 21554 N + Apr 25 ... As I scroll up or down using the "j" or "k" keys the same things occurs for each highlighted line. For example after I go down three lines it looks like this: 21551 N T Apr 25 eFax message A fax message21552 F Apr 25 The next mssg header 21551 N T Apr 25 eFax message A fax message21552 F Apr 25 The next mssg header 21552 N T Apr 25The next mssg header A fax message21553 F Apr 25 Here is mssg header 21553 N T Apr 25 Here is mssg header A fax message21554 F Apr 25 Another mssg header Also there is some bazaar highlighting. The view gets more and more confusing the more I scroll up or down. Also affects pager view. Here is a sreenshot of problem: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4X5mynXTK2DcnEzYUZTS1J0dGJfbGJVbHB5VTVHWGhLYnlB/view?usp=sharing I have attached: copy of .muttrc and copy of "mutt -v" output. I have been doing some google searches but could not find any reports or solutions regarding this behavior. Hoping to get some help here.
