I had the same problem when running Fedora Core 2.  You may be
experiencing this bug:

Sure, mutt can handle HTML-formatted email messages.

In ~/.mailcap, I have (among other things):

text/html; elinks -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html

In ~/.muttrc, I have:

auto_view text/html

Of course, this assumes you have elinks [0] installed.  You can
substitute your favorite text-mode web browser.

Odd though it may be, it is true.  RedHat 7.1 was the first RH release
to use the 2.4 kernel. :-)

7.0:  http://www.redhat.com/about/presscenter/2000/press_rhl7.html
7.1:  http://www.redhat.com/about/presscenter/2001/press_sevenone.html

Yeah, screen is great.

I always put this in all my .screenrc files:

hardstatus alwayslastline "%{mk}%H %{gk}%c %{yk}%M%d
%{wk}%?%-Lw%?%{bw}%n*%f %t%?(%u)%?%{wk}%?%+Lw%?"
bindkey -k k7 prev
bindkey -k k8 next

That gives me a nice status line at the bottom of my terminal and
allows me to switch between sessions using F7 and F8.  I find F7/F8
easier than ^a[0-9].  The hardstatus line may have wrapped and you'll
have to put it together.
