There was a discussion, with causes and partial cures, of that just a
month ago, in this thread:

Aha, thanks, that provides me with all I could wish to know!  :-)

Regarding the decision to display html vs plain text, hopefully so.

Well, we can but guess, since the HTML alternative is missing from your
example.

I seem to have got entangled by my own problem!  When I look at the
forwarded message (as it arrived from the mutt list) it doesn't have
HTML but it *does* have all those 'A  A  ' sequences still.  Can
anyone suggest their cause?

I would say that whatever is transcribing your HTML to text is generating these characters. On your first post I was guessing a display only problem involving a terminal configuration, but if it is getting into forwarded messages then it should be the transcription process.

When you forward a message (_not_ <resend>), mutt tends to put in its test transcription, thus your "A" markers.

Can you show us your display_filter settings?
