mutt users - text/enriched crashes mutt?

I've got a text/enriched email, which crashes mutt-devel-1.5.20_1
This is FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT ia64

When I open this email, mutt freezes, while the /tmp/mutt* file
is growing until it fills the partition, and I get a message
on the terminal, something "can't copy file, device full":

-rw-------   1 mexas  wheel     215941357 14 Sep 10:48 mutt-mech-cluster241-RHvpz380-00000

Now, the manual, http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-5.html,
claims:

	Mutt internally supports a number of MIME types,
	including text/plain, text/enriched, ...

So is there something wrong with my installation, or
with this message?

Below is a copy of the offending email:

Please advise

many thanks
