Subj : MQ - Message Quick Scan

so i've replaced my at-login email newscan with MQ, and it works perfectly to both show new emails and echomail for the user in a nice way.

my only problem is it seems to display every scan area and then back up and overwrite each one, before finally getting to my "read your stuff?" prompt. (or if there's no messages, just a pause prompt). not really a big concern because it gets clobbered and hidden immediately, but depending on term speed (and in fact on which terminal and how they do screen writes apparently) you can see flickers from displaying them.

is it possible to prevent that? i'm guessing there's a prompt somewhere i could just blank out, but is it used elsewhere?

thanks!
