     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.
