It seems to be a slang's problem that do not work well 
on a terminal which lacks a feature called "bce".

Though mlterm can mimic the feature to some extent,
it will run a bit slowly and consume more memory in that case.
So if you are using mlterm with TERM=mlterm,
its bce emulation is disabled by default.

To make mlterm behave as a bce terminal, the simplest way may be
executing mlterm with TERM=xterm. What happens if you do
 mlterm -y=xterm
and run mutt on it?
