Check out http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/screen_15.html for some 
basics---you may need to set TERM correctly before entering screen, or 
you may need to set TERMCAP, or something like that. It all depends on 
what terminal you're actually using.

You *may* need to either modify your screen termcap file to add smcup 
and rmcup information or to create your own custom termcap file. I did 
something similar for my Apple Terminal. Check out this thread in the 
list archives: http://marc.info/?l=mutt-users&m=118897291908291&w=2
