Package: screen
Version: 4.0.2-4.1
Severity: normal

Please find attached a tarball containing a Maildir with a
small selection of spam (`mutt-bug'), plus the problematic
spam isolated (`mutt-bug-one'). The filenames are because I
originally thought this was a mutt bug.

If I read the Maildir with mutt inside a screen session, the
display becomes very corrupted. If I read the same Maildir
with mutt outside of a screen session, the display is OK.

If you cat / otherwise inspect the individual file from
outside of screen, you should notice that it displays
differently than if you do so within a screen session
(although my display doesn't get destroyed).

In all cases my locale is set to en_GB.UTF-8. the `-U' flag
to screen does not change the results.

I am not a locale expert, I don't even know if the spam is
well-formed UTF, so I cannot offer much in the way of clues.
Perhaps mutt truncates the UTF subject line and the result
is "un-closed" multibyte UTF which screen is confused by...
