For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.28-2.2.
The old stable distribution (potato) is also affected by this problem and an update will follow.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.0 and above.
We recommend that you upgrade your mutt package.");
