Me neither, I've been running Debian + mutt unstable on my other other
computer but HDD died :-(

Not in this case, fingers crossed, it seems to be an encoding issue.

Mutt doesn't understand that funny character between the "it"
and the "s" in the message body, but vim could see it (a small square
with a circle in it and a stroke through the circle.

I vaguely remember this being discussed a couple or so years ago.

The worrying thing is why did it freeze.

I'll see if mutt from backports.org fixes it.

Cheers.
Chris.
