You just hit the bulls eye, i think :-)
It was indeed an entry in my color definitions. After removing it,
mutt behaves as expected.
But, i don't understand, why this one was causing mutt to download
full messages - here it is:
color index black green "~h 'Content-Class:
urn:content-classes:calendarmessage'"
Well, i don't need that entry anymore, anyways, but i'm a bit
curious why it caused that behaviour. Its only purpose was to
highlight messages with a given content-class in the _header_, so
why did mutt fetch the _body_?
With kind regards,
Frank Altpeter
