mine too. my mistake.

yes. didn't check that upto now. the only thing i did find out was, that
the error appeared with messages containing characters from the charmap
{127..255}. happens in germany ("umlauts"). mutt must have tried to set
"-B" automatically to get 8-bit chars through. man, you wouldn't believe
how often i tried and experimented until i found out. this hasn't happened
any more. had i not overlooked that darned -B8BITMIME flag...
