Some versions of MH earlier than MH 6.7 had a few bugs with that format
construct; you don't say what version you're running, so you might
have a buggy mhl.

The most likely reason for this problem is lines longer than your
"width" setting getting wrapped by mhl.  Probably the easiest solution
is adding either overflowtext=">" or width=10000 to that "body" line.
The MH 6.7 "repl" man page discusses this and gives some examples.
