I don't see that problem, with either 23.1 or the current trunk.

Could you please send a step-by-step recipe, starting from  "emacs -Q"?

Also, if you cannot send mail from Emacs on Windows, please do M-x
report-emacs-bug and send the content of the *mail* buffer to
5115 <at> debbugs.gnu.org by using your preferred MUA.

Thanks,

    Juanma
