313 Resizing the screen while using an external pager causes
314 Mutt to go haywire on some systems.
315
316
317 suspend/resume does not work under Ultrix.
318
319
320 The help line for the index menu is not updated if you
321 change the bindings for one of the functions listed while
322 Mutt is running.
