David:

I occasionally see display corruption in Mutt too. It always goes away
(temporarily) by refreshing the screen with a CTRL-L, which leads me to
believe it may be either a curses or terminal behavior problem.

So far I haven't figured out what it could be, and when I attempt to
reproduce it so I can report it, it tends to be not reproducible.

I see it most often, though not exclusively, when at work using a VPN to 
connect to my home box for purposes of reading mail. I'm using the same
Linux at work, and using the default gnome terminal I also use at home, where
I hardly ever observe the problem.
