PS: I'm observing something strange though.

Context: I use BRLTTY with speech synthesis enabled.

Sometimes (sorry I cannot be more precise here) when I run mutt,
the speech synthesis reads an index entry from a mailbox I did display
but that is currently not displayed.

Could it be that the laternative screen is not cleared at program exit
whereas it should? If so, is the program that should clear the screen or
should that be done by the kernel? I tend  to think it should be done by
the kernel to not depend on the program to ensure there is no leftover?

Seb.
