Possibly your color settings, or the color settings shipped with your 
packaged version of mutt.

Try adding 'uncolor body *' to the bottom of your muttrc to remove all 
body coloring add see if that makes a difference.

I can't duplicate this, but it's possible a bug got fixed related to 
this.  If you could specify the exact command you are running I'll try 
to look at it again.

The IMAP code updates the message body size when it actually downloads 
the message.  When opening the mailbox, it only displays an estimate 
based on the subset of headers it downloads.
