Ah, we can't fault mutt, then.

Yes, the fact that no-one else on that linux list muttered in their
beard about those emails has prompted me to make procmail pass through
an additional unfiltered copy of them. The only filter action shown by
the log is however:
procmail: Executing " formail -a"Reply-To: luv-main@xxxxxxxxxx" >>
$MAILDIR/luv-main"
The addition of a header shouldn't muck with the last line of the body.
(And doesn't on any of the tens of thousands of other emails that rule
has processed on that and other lists.)
Once another "problem" email comes in, the evidence for a local cause
should be available.
Many thanks for your help getting this far.
