Thanks, I'm glad you like it. :)

 de> 1) While reading a message, if you use ? (help), and then press "q" to

This isn't something I've seen.  And I'm not quite sure what you mean by pressing Q to return back, except from the final pause?  When viewing the help screen, any key you press should have it continue writing the help screen until you get to the final pause, and then pressing any key will have it go back (not just Q).  I tried it just now and can't reproduce the issue you're describing.

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

 de> In the list display, I've noticed that when I'm using a wider terminal,

 de> EG: If the date was 2021-01-06 01:23:45, then the 3:45 is the dull white

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

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

 de> Anyway, thought you might like to know.

A screenshot would help, as I haven't seen these issues.
It looks like iTerm is only available for Mac OS?  I don't have a Mac, so I wouldn't be able to test that.
