This is from the RFC's about Mailheaders, and it is also  written,  that
the the receiver should not expect, that ALL headers are available.

The message is changed the first time when you  access  it  and  I  even
have not accessed  a  message  and  found  "Content-Lenght:"  header  in
message which where only accessed by "libnet-imap-simple-perl". I do not
believe, the perllib has put the header into the message.

Are you sure, it is mutt who is adding the "Content-Lenght:" header?

Ehm, with one header?

I asume, 32 Bytes per message  which mean 32k messages. I feel this like
a joke... I have on my server arround 48 million messages and it is only
1.4 GByte.

And I do not belive the 32bytes additional size will hit your filesystem
be exceeding the blocksize usage...  e.g. 32k msg * 4kB/block = 128MByte

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
