I don't know about a known buglist... Mutt doesn't have bugs. ;-)
(j/k!) But, for starters, your could describe what happens when you
try to view one of these "nondisplaying" messages in Mutt? What do
you see on the screen?
Second, in the case that this is a "weird MIME type", can you view
the message if you pipe it to some external program, such as less?
You can do this by typing "|less<enter>". If you don't have "less"
installed, you can use the "more" program. With either of those,
you will then be able to see the "raw" message contents.
Third, for these non-displaying messages, what do you see when you press
"v" (which shows you a list of the message components/attachements)?
Particularly, what does the attachment info at the right edge say?
For normal text it should be text/plain.
Hopefully these will get you in the right track of solving the problem,
or at least give us more info to work with.

Mikko
