Howdy,
We are in the midst of writing a console based screen reader, and noticed this 
problem while trying to navigate things like Mutt. It could be fixed if ncurses 
would finish filling in the line with space or something. In the case we found, 
the link reported 160 columns, but the ncurses line only had 143. This causes 
weird stuff like reading half the from and subject info in mutt on 1 line, then 
the rest and the start of the next on another line.
We can probably hack around it, but the best way is of course a fix for the 
problem itself.
Thanks for reading :)
Storm
