I already did. At the moment I am working on the invalidate problem
(drop cache if message was modified since cached). That involves stating
each message on reopen, which is bad :-( hopefully not to bad.

I will fix this next. So how should I fix this? Two things come in my
mind:

        a) first thing is reencode (which is slow, when it is more than
           just the subject)

        b) save the LANG together with the cache and drop the cache if
           LANG has changed. I think I will do the this.

        c) use a session locale cache.

This is slow. My profiling showed that mutt is 25 % of it's time
decoding any strings. :-)
