Please go ahead and post your patch, either to this list, or perhaps to
a ticket.  It looks like http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3369 or
http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3491 might be related.

Most of the committers are quite busy right now, so it may take a while
to get a response.

Yoshiki Vazquez Baeza posted a patch for this a couple months ago, and
David Champion is incorporating it into a related patch set.
