This doesn't really answer the question, but I found that HP-UX curses
is pretty much unusable with mutt - you have to use slang on this
platform.
That said I cannot reproduce the problem on Redhat Linux with slang,
Redhat Linux with ncurses or HP-UX with slang (various mutt versions
between 0.84 and 0.95.x). So I don't think it is a general ncurses/slang
issue. It might have something to do with the contents of the
termlib/termcap file.
