clear screen after exit in tcsh?

Hi there. I know this seems more like a tcsh question than a mutt question, but I only see this behavior in mutt. Anyone know what would make the screen clear after exiting mutt? I have it set up on two difference Solaris servers, one running mutt 1.0 and the other 1.0.1, both the same versions

shell-escape problem?

Sorry if I am missing something obvious, but something seems odd to me with mutt's shell-escape behavior. If I hit '!' and type at the prompt 'vim ~/.signature', it knows it exists because tab completions finishes '.signature', yet it opens it as a new file. Is mutt not correctly resolving '~'?

Hi. I just upgraded from 1.0 to 1.2.5 and notice that mutt does not insert by default the x-mailer header. I didn't see this in the upgrade readme. Is this intentional? Also, Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I notice in my tmp directory A LOT of .bak files made by mutt. They look like

I have mutt set like elm, I think the default, to skip messages marked for deletion in the index when going up or down, so I have to skip to the particular message number to go to one marked for deletion. Sorry if this is already a feature, but I think it would be great to be able to toggle this
