This also occurs with mutt; look closely at the screenshot and you will notice 
that the blue header bar and blue message highlighting does not extend all the 
way across the terminal like it should.

Ctrl+L for a manual refresh of mutt and vim does fix the problem, but I would
really rather not have to do that every time.
