Package: mutt Version: 1.5.19-4 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch When copying or moving/saving messages mutt adds Lines and Content-Length headers. This is necessary for certain mbox formats, because otherwise a line beginning with "From " in the message body is difficult to disambiguate from the next message. However these headers are not usefull for storages likes Maildir or imap. Even worse when moving a message without these headers between Maildir folders the contents change and therefore checksum-based synchronization tools have to retransmit the whole message without this being necessary. It would therefore be a good to not add these headers in the latter case.
Fortunately Emanuele Giaquinta has a short patch for this. All it does is disable adding these headers for Maildir and imap destinations. It can be found at http://tmp.tomaw.net/mutt-copy.diff.
