[Alpine-info] Screen and Alpine and Window-Titles

Hello all,

I recently posted on the screen-users mailing list but feel my answer is
better had here...

In my .cshrc I have the following:

if ($TERM == "screen") then
alias postcmd 'printf "\033%s%s %s %s\033\\" "k" "\!#:0" "\!#:$"
"[$HOST]"'
endif

However I find that whenever alpine calls another command (a filter, a
pipe, a viewer), that command gets written to (and stuck as) my screen
label.

This doesn't happen if say, from tcsh I launch bash and run commands.
Does alpine somehow return to the shell and background itself when running
a pipe?
