Fwd: broken "^From " header



Hi,

I use mutt since many years now. I noticed a few months back that mutt
can't read an e-mail where the first line is broken in two, something
like that:

| From PLOHN@xxxxxx
|  Thu Jun 10 00:34:34 2004

It simply ignore this e-mail and if it is the only e-mail in the file it
just shown nothing. If other mails are present, it is just appended to
the previous e-mail as the continuation text of that e-mail.

I receive about 30-50 e-mails like that every week and the only way I
know to fix it is to join the two lines in an editor. (J in vim).
Half of this e-mails are spam but the other half are messages from
discutions lists. To identify the broken ^From header I do this:

grep -a '^ [MTWFS][ouehra][neduit] [JFMAMSOND][aepuc][nbrynlgptvc] [ 0-9][0-9] 
[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9] [12][09][0-9][0-9]' mail-file

Is there a way to fix that in mutt (or .procmailrc)?

I use mutt 1.5.5.1 from Debian package.


Thank you for your help.
