Package: t-prot
Version: 2.11-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

It is my understanding that -Mmutt should inhibit the exit code for
--max-lines. Since the --max-lines handling changed since 2.8.1 (it
moved out of process_msg(), the return code for overlong messages
will be non-zero even if -Mmutt is passed. This causes mutt to
request me to press a key before it displays the message, because
from mutt's point of view, the display_filter failed.

Don't tell anyone I wrote a Perl patch, which might just be
proof-of-concept anyway. This fixes the issue:
