Hello,

   I'll try to explain better.

   I'm running W2K with all the latest cygwin stuff, including
openssh2.9p2.  I ssh from cygwin to a linux box.  echo $TERM replies
cygwin.  If I run pine without specifying to turn off colours, extra line
feeds are added at the bottom of the screen, whether I'm in the menu,
message index, or reading messages.  In the index, this means I have to
guess what message the cursor is over before I can open it.  Also, some
lines don't get updated properly a the top and bottom of the screen.

   If I run pine with -color-style=no-colors, all is well.  But it would
be nice not to have to turn off colours.
