Error description:

It seems there is a double BUG there and we should clone this bug to
"mutt".

Description:

I have gotten the message from my "Spamassassin" folder.

In the mutt INDEX-View we see Hebrew characters, but BIDI is missing.

In the message view, BIDI is working in the Subject and the message
body but in the later one, hebrew characters are not more shown.

Attached the message in original from my Maildir...

Hello,

I have attempted to reproduce this issue using html2text version
2.4.0-1, and Hebrew characters in both plain text and HTML views.

In my testing, the Hebrew text renders correctly and does not
disappear or suffer from the missing BIDI/character issues described
in this report.

Could you please confirm if this issue still persists with current
versions of the package? If no further occurrences or test cases are
provided, we might consider closing this old bug.

Best regards,
Bruno Naibert
