I'm sorry to reply to my own message, but I found out what causes this.
On one particular newsgroup, the "from" field in the index is padded with Ã? instead of
spaces. So there are alternating A-tilde and question marks.
It seems that the from-names in the messages are padded with a \240
(hex. A0) character. According to iso_8859-1(7), this is a no-break
space.
Most users on that newsgroup use some web-frontend to post messages, so
that's the likely culprit for this unexpected character.
Still it would seem to me that muttng should be able to cope with this.
As mentioned before, when I open a message sent by someone with an
affected realname, the pager all of a sudden displays the correct name
(properly padded with spaces).
Any insights on this issue?
Greets,
Sven
