Mutt seems to truncate patterns to 1024 characters.
This makes it difficult to filter on very long patterns.
To reproduce:
1) Send yourself 2 emails with these subjects:
Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx1
AyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyB2
2) to see all emails type:
l~A
you should see both the emails
3) Use a long (>1024 char) limit pattern which should make the first email
visible and the second invisible:
l~s^A~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA.....................~sB
Notice that both emails are still visible. The ~sB at the end of the
pattern got truncated.
4) use l~A to see all emails again
5) use a similar pattern that is long but less than 1024 characters:
l~s^A~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA.....................~sB
Now only the 2nd email is visible.
(Unimportant Note: the above patterns match any subject that starts with A
(~s^A) and contains A (~sA) and contains B (~sB). The subjects must also
be at least 22 characters long (~sA.....................). The reason I
used a pattern with .... is so that the truncation results in a valid
pattern (truncation is in the middle of the dots). If you use a long
pattern that gets truncated in a strange location you will instead see a
"missing parameter" error. Here is an example:
l~s^A~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sA~sB
