I summarized my "research" with: > [T]his might not apply to debian at all.
Michelle Konzack chimed in with: > It does not affect Debian, but Mandrake and Redhat... :-) Florian Weimer asked: > Can you rule out that it's not reproducible with some other charset? I can't rule anything out. If I understand the bug reports and examples correctly, the charset in question is the one specified in the e-mail header, and is therefore part of the example mbox files. The only technical discussion I can find on-line is on the mutt mailing list: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mutt.devel/8379 and that faded away without resolution a month ago. There is no (current & relevant) activity regarding handler.c in the mutt CVS tree. Tamotsu's patch has been ignored. So this still looks to me like a non-bug for Debian. If the mutt developers don't understand and can't reproduce it, I'm reluctant to spend much effort on the Debian side. If Michelle has personally confirmed it affects Mandrake and Redhat, maybe (s)he can use one of those systems to try the test program posted by Thomas Roessler at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mutt.devel/8383 For the record, my debian sid system gives the result rv = 0, errno = 0 (?)
