When I use the elm option "-V" (it's usefull, I use it often), the sendmail output moves the screen up. I do not like that, especially if I'm in the editor. Is there a solution without using ^L (I'm very lazy :-) ? Or can we say, it's a bug?

It's sendmail, not elm, that prints out those messages. Elm would have to redraw the screen just after sendmail runs. Elm would have to know what's on the screen to redraw it. Now if elm used curses, this would be no problem since the curses software keeps track of what's on the screen and a simply refresh() can be issued to redraw it. But elm doesn't use curses and frankly has no idea of what's on the screen when this function that executes sendmail runs. -- Rob Bernardo Mt.
