I just found something funny with the new utf patch. The only thing I
noticed in the headers of relevance was:
To: =?utf-16be?b?/v8AfgA6ACcAJwAgMEIwijBMMGgwRjBUMFYwRDB+MFcA?=
=?utf-16be?b?MF8wAg==?= <j.chetwynd at btinternet.com>
The displayed mail can be seen here:

I'll save the message if it's of any use in debugging the problem (it
was a post to the git list). There wasn't anything in the body itself
that looked odd to my quick visual inspection.
Thanks
-Ben

...a followup on the list makes me wonder if this isn't actually a sup
thing, but a weird encoding 'joke' by the poster. Even if the body
display wasn't a sup bug, the name is still munged up.

I have the same message. I'll play around with it... I suspect there's
something like a tab or a weird character coming out of the decoding
(which appears to be some non-utf16 text claiming a utf16 big-endian
encoding) that is screwing with Ncurses.

I've committed some changes that should remove invalid characters
for your encoding before display. I think this should help. Also
various display tweaks to account for multibyte characters. I still
see some inconsistencies but I think it's getting better.
That message renders "fine" for me now. (A bunch of nonsense Chinese
characters mixed with some boxes.) I'm using utf8 in a gnome-terminal.
