Ok. Not sure quite whats happening, but I'm getting spam that has some
sort of escape code in it that causes underlining to turn on and refuse to
turn off, the full effect being that the terminal has underlines on every
line.

I'm using pine under a screen session , and having to actually kill the
terminal since even after quitting pine the underlines are still damn
there.

Is there anyway to disable the specific control code thats appearing in
these spams to stop this effect, sinces its massively irritating.

Cheers,
Shayne.
