Generally? The reason is because mutt doesn't count lines until it
parses the MIME message (e.g. downloads the message from the server,
figures out it's contents, formats them for the terminal-size, etc.).
So, the messages that list non-zero numbers are messages that you've
viewed.
What I do (and what the mutt default is to do) is to only display line
numbers when it knows them, and to display message size otherwise. The
format string for that is:
%?l?%4l&%4c?
