I've tried all mutt 1.3.x versions, several $TERM settings, several compile options, but it still doesn't work...every 1.3.x has the problem. Every 1.2.x works fine without any adjustments. Sometimes the pager displays a bit more (something like \222\222), but I still can't read mail with 1.3.x. What should I look at next?? I've been trying through the Windows PuTTY ssh client all along; I'll reboot into Debian now to see if it works better. I'll post the results here. Thanks, Ray P.S.

Running it slowly, I don't see any extra cursor movement either - it just doesn't show anything in the pager. From other comments (and my own checks), it's not related to ncurses.
