I'd say no, not enough to be merged. Mutt/1200 could potentially be
solved by a pure from.c:is_from() patch, not wiping this mutt/1445.
My POV on mutt/1445 is that it's not originally caused by Mutt, but
the procmail munging revealed a clearly unappropriate Mutt behaviour in
front of a broken header. The space prepended non header line in header
triggered header/body separation in a suboptimal place, and the fact the
header grows at each sync enhances the problem. The wrong Content-Lenght
also. Robustness commands this to be corrected, perhaps by cutting
before the non-header line, rejecting it to body. At least it would not
grow anymore.
Bug in specific broken conditions: Bug at lowest priority. Not
really dangerous: Lowest severity. Should be fixed one day, but no need
to invest precious time and efforts on it specifically.
Bye! Alain.
