#3162: Body regexes don't find text after 1022 characters on a line

 Priority:  minor    |   Milestone:

 If a message has more than 1022 characters on a line then attempting to
 search for (using the / command) or highlight (using :color ) text after
 position 1022 will fail.

 Such messages are in violation of the SMTP RFC (which imposes a maximum of
 998 characters) but are found in the real world; that's how I stumbled up
 on this limit.

 The attached mbox plus muttrc demonstrates the problem -- it shows how
 terms being highlighted up to position 1022 but not 1023.
