suspend/resume while editing a file with an external editor does not workunder SunOS 4.x if you use the curses lib in /usr/5lib. It does workwith the S-Lang library, however.
Resizing the screen while using an external pager causes Mutt to go haywireon some systems.
suspend/resume does not work under Ultrix.
The help line for the index menu is not updated if you change the bindingsfor one of the functions listed while Mutt is running.
