I sometimes receive Hebrew spam, for these mails mutt does not display
the size of the mail corrrectly in the index, instead of
Date    From      Size   Subject
Jan 20  somebody  (12K)  about something
I get
Jan 20  12(somebodyK)    about something

That is with index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15F (%4c) %?H?%H] ?%s"

Screenshot and example mail are attached.

Hi Andreas,

I cannot reproduce that here, neither with the etch, nor the sid
version. Can you still reproduce that behavior with your installation?

Yes, straightforward with mutt 1.5.18-1. But see below.

---------------------
1. Use a unicode locale, e.g. LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8
2.
echo 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15F (%4c) %?H?%H] ?%s"' >\
    /tmp/muttbug/muttrc
3. Launch mutt with minimal muttrc and the example mailbox in the
bugreport.
(SID)ametzler@argenau:~$ mutt -f /tmp/muttbug/hebrew.mbox \
            -F /tmp/muttbug/muttrc -n -R
4. Voila.
--------------------

However I have just realized that it is depending on the terminal I
am using. I usually use mlterm, which shows the broken behavior[1],
however both xterm and  rxvt-unicode-ml seem to be fine.

I am reassigning the bug to mlterm.

For reference I see the bug on stable and in a sid-chroot, the latter
therefore is a combination of etch's mlterm 2.9.3-5 using sid's
terminal definition (mlterm-common  2.9.4-3).

[1] with TERM=mlterm, TERM=xterm looks correct.
