If you set the background to "black" (or "white") then the background will be solid and the root pixmap won't show through. However, if you set it to "default" then mutt doesn't tell the term what color to use and the root pixmap will show. Note that if the terminal supposedly (as listed in terminfo) supports erasing with the background color, then the ncurses application will not draw all characters on the terminal but rather assumes that the term fills in the background correctly. If the terminal doesn't really do that (ie putty with a certain option not set) then those curses apps look a bit odd. | And it did trailing spaces then.

FWIW, mutt 1.5.5.1-20040112+1 here doesn't do anything funny with trailing spaces and vim (my choice of pager) can display them if I tell it to. -D -- The nice thing about windoze is - it does not just crash, it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'ok' first. www: http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/ jabber: dman@dman13.dyndns.org
