Backspace in the pager revisited
I've had some difficulties with this backspace. :) Originally, it worked once I set TERM to vt320. Then I wanted color, and this hosed things up again. Right now I have go back one line in the page mapped to the right square bracket. when I put bind pager backspace previous-line in .muttrc, it doesn't seem to work as expected. For the record, my method of logging in is via Putty. Backspace is set to ^? (127) in Putty. Term is xterm-color. If I set backspace to ^H, things work in the pager, but little else. Apparently, this is not a good idea to set backspace to ^H...nearly all apps seem to resist this, and need special setup, most notably Emacs and vim.

Cheers, and TIA, I'm putting together a terminfo for PuTTY (which it turns out, is not vt100-compatible after all).
