I must admit that I don't really understand, what the above lines really
do (I copyied them from somewhere in the net). All I know is that
normally scrolling while using screen doesn't work and with those, it
does :-)

Indeed. I have 
hardstatus alwayslastline "%w"
in ~/.screenrc which gives me one line at the bottom of the window telling
which screen buffer is active and how many I have. If I delete this
line, scrolling in screen works again.

that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
