{{{
When using external pager of any type, Mutt provides a faulty key command
prompt before redisplaying the index. This happens even when 'set
wait_key=no'. It appears to be debugging code that should not visible to
the user.
>How-To-Repeat:
When using an external pager, such as 'set pager=gnuclient', mutt will
display a prompt after the pager exits, rather than displaying the index
list. The prompt appears as follows (with a blank, black terminal) as soon
as the pager application exits.
Command:
Pressing '?' at this prompt will sent the key command help for index mode
(not pager mode) to the external pager. Pressing arrow keys will return
mutt to the index mode.
The only case where the index appears to return automatically without
extra key strokes is when viewing the index help by pressing '?' from
within the index mode. The help is sent to the pager, the prompt 'Command:
' is display, and then the index reappears (without need for extra key
presses).
>Fix:
Unknown
