Subject: Missing Data in curses mode with 7.1.2

Version 7.1.2 under HP-UX 7.0

A problem has come to light when in curses mode and using a vt100 terminal
or emulation (haven't been able to try any other 'real' terminals).
The following hdr_format string:

    set hdr_format="%18n %-2N%3M%2y %38s %-5l"

is fine with line mode and the number of columns is displayed correctly and
uses the full 80 columns. However the following behaviour is evident with
curses:

1   "~/mbox": 211 messages, 0 new, 0 unread, 0 deleted
[ lines removed ]

[ rest removed ]

There should be numbers displayed at  the question marks but cols 79 and
80 are actually blank (the 1 shown above is from 100).

Tests with a vt100 in 132 column mode were fine with no missing data. This
seems to be a bug. It does not appear to be machine/un*x specific.

Point 2:
How can I introduce a facility that for a particular mail item, a
'Reply-To:' header will be used pointing towards a specific user@site?
Yes I know I can use the 'edit headers' facility but not everyone
is/will be happy with this. I would like to set up a cmd 'replyto'
with an optional argument such that if no argument is given, the
header points to me otherwise points to the given argument.

Thanks
