since a couple of weeks I experience a problem with mutt. At some point in time, mutt stops showing mail bodies. Once this happens, the only way to stop mutt from mis-behavong is to quit and start a new instance.
I've seen that, too.
But for me, the symptomps see to be somwhat different:
- In the bug, the problem seems to be related to search, while for me, simply displaying some mail triggers the problem.
Yes.
- In the bug, the problem seems to be reproducible. There exists even an archive of the gcc mailing list to reproduce. For me, the problem is triggered ramdomly in pretty much every folder. No matter whether mbox or maildir or whatever.
Yes. I'm using Maildir, BTW.
- In the bug, the problem seems to be triggered only when attachments are present in the mail. For me, the bug is triggered even if there are no attachments at all in the displayed messages.
Not sure. I haven't been able to trigger the problem just now.
So I am curious: is it really the same bug? Or should I file a new one?
If in doubt, file a new one. The symptoms seem to be disparate enough, even if the underlying cause should be the same. A. -- Ansgar Esztermann Sysadmin Dep. Theoretical and Computational Biophysics http://www.mpibpc.mpg.de/grubmueller/esztermann
