Hi -

I run -STABLE on both my desktop and laptop, and have encountered this
problem on both machines. Because it's more an annoyance than anything
else, I've never asked about it ... I've alse feared it was really
elementary. :(

Anyhoo, the problem is: when I am in console and ssh into my mail box,
the display (in Pine, which is what my ISP has ... I'd use Mutt
otherwise) is a bit funky. Not sure what words to use to describe it,
but messages "overlap" so that when it -appears- I am on one message, I
am really on the next, and so on. I can sort things out by first
down-arrowing over everything, but that's kind of a pain ... and it
still leaves a few 'ghost' lines at the top of the screen.

It would seem that the # of lines on the screen is off, or the terminal
type is wrong, or something along those lines. I've flailed around with
switching term types, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Anyone else seen this? or more importantly, seen it and fixed it?

Thanks for any tips,

Glenn Becker
