Actually, it seems this may be partly due to a broken message.  I saw
that the Subject line is not encoded which (I think) is against RFC.
In any case, it's possible that the message is slightly broken, but
it's still odd how Mutt handles this message: it displays the pound
symbol in three different ways (!) depending on the menu:

 - index: the pound sign is displayed correctly
 - pager: the pound in the subject and body are displayed as \243
   (\24315).
 - compose: L15 is displayed as "1".

The message (slightly modified) is attached.
