Hey, I'm using Alpine 2.29.99 on a remote machine inside a GNU/screen (v4.09.01) session. My local terminal is Terminal.app on macOS 26.
In my Trash folder I tend to get a lot of spam (who doesn't? :-)) but recently I started to receive spam messages with Chinese or Japanese subject lines. I'm starting Alpine with TERM=screen-256color and the emails look just fine when opened (and all characters are displayed correctly as far as I can tell), only the index looks garbled. Allow me to share some pictures, I hope all these URLs make it to the list: https://postimg.cc/DmBwnxhF When open an email, then go back to the index, and repeat that a few times, it gets worse, now I have "two emails selected" and the index view is almost useless: https://postimg.cc/XXQY4sWn I can exit the Trash folder and go back to other folders (with no unicode characters) and can continue to use Alpine just fine, only when I enter the dreaded Trash folder again the output is all garbled. Using TERM=xterm-256color doesn't make it better, a bit worse even as now I have black lines in between: https://postimg.cc/XXQY4sWn When I use Alpine w/o GNU/screen and with TERM=xterm-256color all is well and the Trash folder looks just normal: https://postimg.cc/G9qmdXCS Does anyone have a good TERM variable they can recommend for running Alpine in GNU/screen? Thanks, Christian. -- BOFH excuse #263: It's stuck in the Web. _______________________________________________ Alpine-info mailing list [email protected] http://mailman23.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/alpine-info
