That is a good workaround for me.
Paging Thomas Dickey to the white courtesy telephone.... are you on
mutt-users still, or just the dev list?
I installed the current termcap / terminfo sources on a Linux machine
and an OpenBSD machine, and From my Mac, I tried:
nsterm
nsterm-16color
nsterm+acs
and a couple of others, and none of them seem to set home and end
properly (my powerbook is sending [H and [F as home and end). Is
that the right terminal? And why are there like freaking 50 billion
different nsterm variations. No wonder people can't figure out all this
terminal stuff. Should I report this as a bug to the ncurses
maintainers? From reading the comments, the various nsterm entries seem
pretty outdated.
