Hi,
the <buffy-list> function is "broken" because it too small fixed-sized buffer
for its output, 160 currently. However, my terminal is 181 columns wide and
always wondered if it's my patched mutt that causes the info to be truncated.
Turns out it's not. :-)
The attached patch uses 2*STRING (512 byte) and I hope that it's enough for
some to come. As an alternative, we could also get memory dynamically via
curses' COLS...
I recall a few years ago that slang had a buffer-overflow incident from
someone running a 1000-column display...
