A poster to a pigeon rescue group I'm on posts in multipart/alternative format, HTML and plain text. Normally, when reading his emails, mutt (woody, 1.3.28-2) happily displays the plain text part and ignores the HTML. However, when he quotes one of my PGP-inline-signed posts, and doesn't delete the "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----" line, mutt acts as if the plain text part doesn't exist and gives me the "text/html is unsupported (use 'v'......)" message. If I edit the received email and add a space at the beginning of "-----BEGIN PGP....", or change one character of that line, mutt is then happy and displays the plain text part without problems. I am not au fait with the fine details of email formatting, so I'm not sure if this is a bug in mutt's handling of a correctly-formed message, or a consequence of the message being incorrectly formed (the poster is using M$ outhouse). The BTS doesn't seem to contain any bugs against mutt that would be relevant. I'm attaching a copy of an email that causes mutt to misbehave, and I would appreciate it if someone who knows more about email formatting than me could have a look at it, so that I can decide whether or not I should file a bug against mutt. I've munged the guy's email address but the rest is strictly as received. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
