Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.13-1
Severity: important

It often happens to me that mutt crashes immediately on startup.  In
these cases the reason always is some spam mail in my inbox.

Here's an example.  I have one such mail in a maildir called crash.
(This mail is attached to this bug report.)

% ls -lR crash

% mutt -f crash
Sorting mailbox...zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  mutt -f crash

This crash does _not_ happen if I do one of the following:
- change LANG from en_US.UTF-8 to C
- use the default value for index_format
  (instead of "%Z %-20.20n %s %> %14.14[!%d.%m.%y %H:%M]")
- decrease the size of the xterm/konsole/whatever in which I start mutt
