I have a simple question about xmh(1), a nice front-end to MH and nmh.
Now, it is running on my laptop (a Dell Latitude CPi R400GT). I know
that this problem is probably not a "xmh(1) issue" itself but related
with the operating system/X11 engine I am using now. In any case,
I need to ask!

When I incorporate new mail I see something like this in the Table
of Contents area of the xmh(1) window:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
                            inbox:all
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1

0
2
/
1
1

----------------------------------------------------------------------
                  xmh X Consortium R6.3
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Only after resizing the window I see the message subject and its
first chars. How can I fix this problem? I see it on FreeBSD
too. I think that it do not happens on other machines (e.g.,
Solaris, IRIX, HP-UX). I opened a PR on this issue for FreeBSD
but it was closed. I did not replied to a request for feedback
before the problem report deadline.

This machine is running NetBSD 1.6.2 and XFree86 version 4.3.0. My
current $HOME/.Xdefaults is:

(last lines are related with xclipboard(1), I think that those lines
are not related with this problem.)

I am sorry for asking this simple (and perhaps off-topic) question
here, but I have spend some weeks trying to understand this odd
behaviour.

Cheers,
Igor.
