xterm seems to work properly here.

pooh. xterm also gets confused with the escape-sequence prompt
string -- even when i break to a new line after all the fancy
color-setting and xterm-window-title-setting sequences, i
word-delete and *boik* my cursor is suddenly at column 70 or so.
# tcsh (i know, i know)
set USER=`whoami`
if ( $LOGNAME == $USER ) then
set COLOR=44
else
set COLOR=45
endif
if ( $USER == 'root' ) then
set COLOR=41
endif
set prompt="%{]0;%}%n: %~%{[%}$COLOR%{;37;1m%}%n%{:
[%}%{37;40m%}%~%{[0m%}\n%# "
which looks like
<bluebg>will: <bold>/var/www/puz/pix/runt/2002july10<plain>
> and if i enter this text at the command line
and then word-delete it, the cursor sometimes even winds up
on the previous (second-from-bottom) line!
(or maybe it's not xterm or gnome-terminal -- perhaps it's tcsh?)
ideas?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #117 from Adam Scriven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Here's how you THAW MESSAGES FROZEN VIA EXIM: Just cd to the
/var/spool/exim/msglog directory, and run
# exim -Mt *
That should thaw any message that's pending. For more dire
action, you can try
# exim -Mrm <message-id-here>
to actually obliterate a troublesome message. See exim.org (or
/usr/share/doc/exim/manual.html/*) for more details.
