Hey Nightfox,

I just configured your Msg reader for personal mail today - first time I've seen it (and been meaning to look at it). Nice job - like it :)

I thought I'd share 2 things I noticed, not sure if you are aware.

1) While reading a message, if you use ? (help), and then press "q" to return back - it returns back to the message, but doesnt render the message header.
If however, while using help, you return from the final pause, and use any other char (except "q"), then mesage is redrawn correctly (with header).

2) I often use a wide terminal, a mix of Syncterm (132x137) or iTerm (much wider).

In the list display, I've noticed that when I'm using a wider terminal, the date is "blue" except for the last digit of minutes, the colon and the seconds. (It doesnt surface on an 80 col display.)

EG: If the date was 2021-01-06 01:23:45, then the 3:45 is the dull white color (normal?), and the rest of the date is blue.

In addition the lightbar (and the list) work well, but the lightbar also stops before the 3:45 as you move up/down. (So the same last 4 chars are not included).

I'm happy to give you a pic if that helps.

Anyway, thought you might like to know.
