Sounds like the termcap info for cygwin terminal isn't really uptodate
on your linux-machine. (Assuming that you are running ssh from the
cygwin bash)

How is it, is it the environment variable TERMCAP that can contain the
terminfo? Get the string from /etc/termcap of your cygwin
installation, and set it on the linux-machine.. 

Hmm what happens if you set the variable TERM to linux in the linux
shell before firing up pine?

|    I'm running W2K with all the latest cygwin stuff, including
| openssh2.9p2.  I ssh from cygwin to a linux box.  echo $TERM replies
| cygwin.  If I run pine without specifying to turn off colours, extra line
| feeds are added at the bottom of the screen, whether I'm in the menu,
| message index, or reading messages.  In the index, this means I have to

| lines don't get updated properly a the top and bottom of the screen.
