+This feature controls a behavior of Alpine intended to workaround problems in
+terminals where the marker for the end of inverse video cannot be overwritten,
+but must be deleted, as a way to start inverse video again.
+
+<P>
+When this feature is enabled, Alpine will delete a line before writing it,
+therefore deleting the end of reverse video. Modern terminals do not require
+to enable this feature, but some old terminals might require it.
