Message Body not Displaying
I have an odd problem that I'm trying to sort out. When I view an email
from eBay, the message body does not appear in the pager. In order to see
the message body, I have to 'view attachments' and look at it there.
I'm using Mutt 1.5.4i from Debian's mutt-utf8 package (output of 'mutt -v
at the end of my message) in an UTF-8 environment (LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8).
I've attached a message from eBay that exhivits the problematic
behaviour.
I'm not sure what elese is relevant. My mutt config is kind of long, but
it's viewable at http://aperiodic.net/phil/configs/muttrc and
http://aperiodic.net/phil/configs/mutt/ . (Suggestions on what sort of
things to look for in my config are also appreciated.)
