I'm running mutt 1.2.5i and I am experiencing a very strange problem.
When I attempt to read messages from certain senders it takes minutes to
display the message. For example if I press v on the message to see the
attachments it comes up instantly. These are the attachments on one such
message:
I 1 <no description> [text/plain, 7bit, iso-8859-1, 2.2K]
A 2 flu5xben_pentium4_01.xls [applica/vnd.ms-exc, base64, 25K]
If I select the text portion of the message and press enter it comes up
instantly. However, when I select the message and press enter from the
main inbox (I think it's called the pager or the inbox) it takes 4
minutes 28 seconds! If I press Q to go back to the pager and try to view
the message again I have the same problem. If I exit mutt and come back
in and try to view the message again I have the same problem. I can view
any other message in my inbox except this one.
Even if I am viewing a message above the one is question and I press j
for the next message I have the same delay problem.
If I copy the message to a separate folder and attempt to view it from
there I have the same problem!
This has also happened on two other messages, both from the same sender
who is a different sender that this current message that is causing me
grief.
Also If I press v to view the attachments, then tag and forward them to
myself. The message is fine! So I believe that the problem is something
in the message header.
I am using fetchmail to get the messages so by the time mutt gets to
them they are locally stored on the HD.
I'm at a loss as what could be causing this problem, and only on certain
messages.
This is very frustrating and any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Troy
