You can't examine this cache with "more".  It's not a text file.  It's
a file of densly-packed C strings, each terminated with a '\0' (nul)
byte.  And it's partially overwritten each time by design, as part of
maintaining the limited cache size.

If you must look at it, use "strings ignore.cache | more" or the like.

The most likely thing you need to do is increase the size of the cache
in this line:

| formail -D 131072 ignore.cache
