This is probably a temporary problem. In older versions of Mutt, resizing
the xterm  window containing a Mutt session was ignored by Mutt.

In recent versions (at least the development version) resizing works as
expected.

Actually the difference is probably not caused by Mutt updates alone, but
might also be influenced by the upgrade of ncurses from 1.9.somewhat to
the current 4.2 or whatever. Maybe this change in behaviour to the better
was just caused by the ncurses update.

I'm using ncurses from pgksrc and mutt from the developers' cvs repository.
