 {{{
 When copying or moving/saving messages mutt adds Lines and
 Content-Length headers. This is necessary for certain mbox formats,
 because otherwise a line beginning with "From " in the message body is
 difficult to disambiguate from the next message. However these headers
 are not usefull for storages likes Maildir or imap. Even worse when
 moving a message without these headers between Maildir folders the
 contents change and therefore checksum-based synchronization tools have
 to retransmit the whole message without this being necessary. It would
 therefore be a good to not add these headers in the latter case.

 Fortunately Emanuele Giaquinta has a short patch for this. All it does
 is disable adding these headers for Maildir and imap destinations
 }}}

 The patch is attached
