        is this "kyoomu" a header problem,
                        a typo, or something else?

	i agree that the mailer shouldnt (always) let the user
	do something that is against standards (well....), but 
	*i* did config. it, so before pointing any fingers at mutt, 
	i should look into my config-files/system set-up...

	thanx for the headz-up. i hadnt even noticed.

	[and i will try and go through and read RFC-822 and the source
	and see if i can figure out the problem (and so i can give them
	some more info on the problem) as well as check to make sure that
	the more recent versions do/do not display the same problems.
	then i will drop them a mail.  many of the mutt-jp people
	are still (i think) using mutt-0.95.4 and the current is 0.95.7.]

	yes.  i pointed out this was not a good way to do it.
	thanx for explaining why.

					again thanx for the info.
