When I pipe a mail to a program, this program doesn't see the heeader UNLESS
(!) I previously press "h" in the index view and pipe the mail afterwards.

Which setting controls this?

Right now I'm using 1.5.6+20040907i on Debian/testing

This behavior is controlled by the 'pipe_decode' and 'weed'
variables. If 'pipe_decode' is unset, 'weed' has no effect. If
'pipe_decode' and 'weed' are set, mutt will removed those headers
from piped messages as specified by your 'ignore' commands.

So you can include all headers in your piped messages by either
unsetting 'pipe_decode' or by unsetting 'weed' before piping, then
setting the variable again afterwards.

HTH,

Probably you need to 'set pipe_decode=no', which I thought was
the default. Check in your .muttrc to see if maybe it is set to
'yes'.

Nope, no mention of it at all.
I explicitly set it to "no" now. Let's see what happens...

Don't forget to check you /etc/Muttrc if it exists.

Check for something setting "pipe_decode" to yes, in your config, the
system-wide one, and any of the sourced config inclusions. (Section 6.2
of the big manual describes pipe_decode, and I've verified that it works
as described in my install by piping through a random pager.)
