---------------------+----------------------
When a part of a long line (multiple lines in the terminal) in the body is
obtained from backward scrolling, it may be colored incorrectly: with the
default color instead of the "normal" color.
I'm going to attach a test case:
* a mailbox file with 1 message, which contains some text (so that the
long line must not be visible immediately), a long line, a short line (to
check that it appears correctly) and a line to search (see below);
* a muttrc file that sets the "normal" color to a non-default one (text in
red).
To reproduce the bug, e.g. in a 80x40 terminal (other terminal sizes can
be used, but the terminal must not be too large):
1. {{{mutt -R -F muttrc -f mbox}}}
2. Type {{{<enter>}}} to view the message.
3. Type {{{/zzz<enter>}}} to search for zzz (this is the last line of the
message).
4. Type {{{<backspace>}}} several times to scroll backward.
One can see that the short line {{{blah blah}}} before zzz is colored in
red as expected. But the long line that is just before (whose end only is
visible) appears in the default terminal color, not in red. This line
appears in red only when its beginning is reached.
