As I pointed out to you before the issues you were having are character set issues (more specifically the usage of different character sets on both ends). Setting LANG to something like a more conservative en_ZW.ISO-8859-1 instead of en_ZW.UTF-8 (or something like that) on RH and derivatives would have most probably solved your issues. > My current problem is with mc version 4.6.1-pre3 in Debian when viewing > a qf file in the sendmail mail queue. <snip> Why Debian hasn't upgraded mc to 4.6.1 release is beyond me. Quite a few issues have been solved between pre3 and the release. Anyway, regarding the redrawing issues you are seeing: Since 4.6.1 Roland Illig has made quite a few changes to the viewer. Please grab a recent CVS tarball from http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/managers/mc/snapshots/ and see if that improves matters.
