Description Vincent Untz 2008-07-25 09:33:12 UTC 
I talked about this earlier on IRC. From http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3061

I'm seeing this bug too, on mutt 1.5.18+. The culprit seems to be Evolution adding the bogus character (at least I think it's bogus). The result isn't quite as described, though... The following character displays on the right side of the terminal, causing it to *appear* as if it's been eaten. I suspect Christoph would find his missing "I" on the RHS just above the line "t appears that you..."

I'm not sure mutt is to blame here... the character is in the mail, thanks to Evo.

I have no idea when this is happening. Could be after a paste.

This is a pretty major issue since it creates some "interoperability" issues (although mutt will fix this in some way, other mailers might have a problem too).

What is FEFF? Some kind of byte-order mark like bug 541373?
Comment 2 Vincent Untz 2008-11-23 16:43:58 UTC 
Andre: yeah, I think so. Possibly a duplicate.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2011-01-19 17:22:05 UTC 
Vuntz: Does this still happen, and which Evolution version is this about?
Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2011-01-26 14:01:58 UTC 
I can tell you if you paste some text in a mail and send it to me :-) I guess pasting with ctrl+v and with middle-button click to be sure.

I suppose this got fixed by bug #533741, thus I mark this as a duplicate of it (it seems, based on the date, that your version of gtkhtml3 didn't contain the fix from the other bug yet).
