bin/28798: mail(1) with a pager (more) requires fg/Ctrl-Z/fg to restore after suspension with Ctrl-Z

[Igor Roshchin]

Yes, this is still a problem.

I just reproduced it on a 5.4-R (plus security patches) box:
1. start mail
2. open for viewing a message that is longer than a screen (say 40 lines)
3. scroll 2-3 lines down from the top
4. Ctrl-z to suspend
5. fg - to bring to the foreground
At this stage the screen image will not be restored

6. Repeated Ctrl-z and "fg" - then the screen image is restored.

I am using the following settings in the .mailrc settings:

set append ask
unset autoprint
set indentprefix="> "
set PAGER=more
set EDITOR=emacs
set VISUAL=vim
set Replyall
set crt=24
set metoo
