Message body overrunning into command bar



Hi all,

I have found a minor bug in 1.4.1i, and I thought I'd ask on the list
if it has already been reported, before I submit it to the BTS.

I have a message in my inbox, which when I view, a small proportion
gets displayed in the command bar (I think that's the name - it's the
line at the very bottom of the screen, below the status bar).

For example:
------------snip------------------------------------------------------
This is a line of text from the body of the message
             = This is another line from the body

-r T- 4268/4436: foo@xxxxxxx   Message with rather strange behaviour -- (75%)
             + This line shouldn't be printed here.
------------snip------------------------------------------------------

I have attached the message to this mail; however, since the original
mail contained a lot of information about a future product we are
developing, I've mutilated the message, so there's no useful content
left.  It does still show the bug, though.

Possibly useful headers:
  X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0)
  X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106
  Content-Type: text/plain;charset="iso-8859-1"
  Content-Disposition: inline; filename="Minutes"
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

The message has many long (wider than the window) lines.  If I resize
the window so that it is wider than the message, the problem goes away.

The text that ends up in the command bar is not just a simple extension
of the body window - the text displayed is from 3 or so lines down from
the bottom of the body window, and has had all the carriage returns
removed, so that sometimes you get text from more than one line of the
message displayed on one line.

If I switch mutt to "display headers" mode, then the problem initially
goes away, but as I scroll down the message, it suddenly starts
displaying this extra text.  I can't see any obvious reason why it
should start at that particular point in the message.

I think I remember something like this being posted before, but I can't
find it in the BTS.  Has anyone else seen it?
