My answer was a bit off, I said that when set, it will be a '>' when
the link is slow, and otherwise it will be inverse video.

It seems that when set, it will always be '>', and possibly when not
set it will depend on the speed. But I rather suspect that pine does
not check the actual speed at all, but just relies on this option?

One thing that occured to me: maybe after you quit pine the first time,
or while running the other application, your terminal settings become
garbled, so that Pine does not know _how_ to do inverse video?

Try to remove your TERMCAP variable ('unset TERMCAP') before starting
Pine the second time and see if it helps. If you use xterm you might
also want to do a 'resize'.

Thank you for the reply.

This is determined by the assume-slow-link option. If set, then a '>'
will be used to save the number of characters transfered, but only
when you actually have a slow connection.

If you don't care about the speed drop, just unset it in Setup Config.
