That's part of it, my .cshrc contains:

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

I'm just wondering why the shell sees the invocation of those commands. 
Shouldn't alpine just be "like another shell"?

Given, this may also be an alpine question and I might ask this there 
too...but the answer lies somewhere in the interaction.

(Who would love to have alpine able to start composes in new windows, 
right now I do it via a new shell, but this doesn't work on replies, 
etc.).
