For while now I've been running off of the next branch,
and I've been noticing strange and hard-to-reproduce
problems with sup changing the default colors.  When
I start it, things are fine for a few minutes, and the default
colors (for things like the unused portion of the display
or quoted text) are fine.  Then after a few minutes,
the default colors will get changed to yellow-on-black,
or black-on-red, or some other strange thing.  I haven't
been able to track down exactly what causes this.
Sometimes it happens when going through my inbox;
sometimes from doing a '/' to search for a string.

The only thing I can say is that the new default colors
seem to have been picked from some line that was
being displayed by sup.  For example, a few times
when an "unreceived message" line was being displayed
in a thread, and I moved the highlight over that line,
the default colors got changed to the colors of that
line (black on red in this case).

I've seen this on both Fedora Core 4 with xterm,
and OpenSUSE 10.2 with konsole.  So it's possible
it's a problem with older versions of ncurses.
I'll try this on Ubuntu 8.10 at some point soon.

Has anybody else noticed this?
