I, too, have a mis(mess)-understanding.  His quote at the top is
exactly as I see on my monitor, mutt 1.5.13 (2006-08-11).  The line is
wrapped properly with only the quote indicator '> ' added.  If you
observe the line(s) with your counting added as one line, there is
something amiss between your version of mutt and mine.
