Hi,
One of the things I use screen for is to keep myself logged into the
mutt email program, so I don't have to log in to the mail server every
time I switch computers. I like to copy and paste text from the
emails into emacs buffers using X11. Unfortunately I tend to get a
lot of extra white space at the end of lines when doing so. I.e. it
looks like this: (I added | at the end of lines to make the end of
lines easy to see)
At intermediate redshifts, many galaxies seem to be perturbed or suffering |
from an interaction. Considering that disk galaxies may have formed and evolved|
through minor mergers or through major mergers, it is important to understand
|
the mechanisms at play during each type of merger in order to be able to
|
establish the outcome of such an event. In some cases, only the use of both
|
morphological and kinematical information can disentangle the actual
|
configuration of an encounter at intermediate redshift.

when it should look like this:

This results in a lot of ugly line-wrapping in text editors when I paste.
The extra whitespace doesn't always occur but I haven't figured out what
provokes it.
This doesn't seem to occur:
- when copying from an emacs buffer within screen (emacs -nw)
- when copying from mutt inside a normal terminal, not inside screen
I know little to nothing about screen, so I'm not sure if this is a
hard or easy problem to solve.
thanks,
Mark
