Hello!

I was not able to find this in the archives
(and the archives of -stable are not available for search now for some
reason).

This happens on a 4.3-RELEASE system. 
/usr/bin/mail is used to view
a message that is longer then one screen and the pager is used
(I have  set PAGER=more in .mailrc).

If you suspend mail (via Ctrl-Z) in the middle of the paged message,
when you bring it to the foreground (fg) - the screen does not
get  restored, and  the program does not accept any commands.
The only way to bring mail back, is to repeat Ctrl-Z and fg.

I haven't seen this behavior before (4.0 and prior).
Is this somehow related to the new "more"  ?

Any fixes ?

Igor
