Mutt tty problems on Mac OS X 10.5.4 and mutt 1.5.18
I have a relatively new Max Pro Book (Book Pro?) running OS X 10.5.4
and mutt 1.5.18. Using a standard Terminal with the default TERM
value of xterm, mutt has a terrible time displaying, with two symptom
that I have seen:
1. Re: Subject: headers show up in the summary display as lots of ~T
with a few other line noise chars thrown in for good measure. The
original message which starts the thread has its Subject: displayed
properly. I don't think it is the replies being garbled or in
some other character set because all Subject: headers look fine
when I read the actual message. This is always repeatable.
2. When you hit SPACE to read the body of a message, then finish and
"q" back to the summary listing, sometimes the previous message
display does not clear first and the summary is simply written on
top of it, requiring ^L to clean up the summary listing. This is
only sometimes, not always, and I have tried changing TERM to
vt100 with no effect (it is the default xterm).
I have other machines I ssh into and use mutt on them and never have
seen these problems, either using ssh on this Mac or on other computers.
