If I pipe the part being displayed to "od -a", I see runs of spaces where the display shows alternating question marks and spaces:The -a transforms the data in the sense that it ignores the high order bit of the character -- so what you're seeing may not actually be what's in the data. Try od -ba, and wherever you see spaces, see if the octal byte matches the ASCII code for a space (040). If they don't, the problem is most likely that the e-mail contains non-iso-8859-1 characters, and Mutt can't figure out how to display them.
Ah! I didn't know that. And indeed, they aren't 040 spaces:
0000000 123 165 172 151 145 054 012 240 012 124 150 151 163 040 145 155
S u z i e , nl sp nl T h i s sp e m
240 instead of 040.
Anything I can do?
Failing that, there's a good chance that there's something wrong with ME's patch, in which case you should post to the dev list, not here.
I didn't think it would, since it only affected headers, but since it was non-standard for that version I thought I would mention it.
