Dear Maintainer,
For some reason, one of the mailboxes on my dovecot server has very large
UIDs (> 2!**31). Trying to open messages with these very large UIDs
results in mutt complaining "Could not copy message" and failing to open
the message.
Upon investigation, I found that this is because mutt occasionally treats
UIDs as signed integers (the RFC states that they are, in fact, unsigned
ints). In the attached patch, I have tried to track down as many instances
of UIDs being treated as ints as I can (changing declarations, replacing
the use of atoi() with strtoul(), printing with '%u' instead of '%d' and
so on). This now means I can open messages in the affected mailbox.
