With format=flowed, generating a message containing the lines

(like this message) each of the above lines is displayed with one
less space than is indicated by the numbers. The actual message in
the mailbox does contain the correct number of spaces.
What I see in the raw message is one, two and three spaces, which
when displayed there is one less, because the space stuffing is
stripped, per the RFC.
(In latest repository version, but also occurs with 1.5.13).
I was unable to reproduce this with tip. If I create a message
like this:
one blank
two blanks
three blanks
Mutt correctly space stuffs those lines, and they are displayed
the same as I entered in my text editor.
Note that if you edit the message again, you will see the extra
spaces at the start of the line. Mutt only does the stuffing a
single time, and assumes the editor will preserve the previous
stuffing.
