Already downloaded from mutt.org :
mutt-1.2.5i-1.rh16.i586.rpm
mutt-1.2.5i-1.cfp.rh16.i586.rpm
The second has patches for compressed folders. Is this the same as the one
at mutt.linuxatwork.at ? Will it do? Anything apart from .muttrc to be
backed up before rpm -Uvh 'ing ?

OOPS! Will do that.
I don't have Sendmail [O'Reilly], so can you please tell me what the above
two lines exactly do?
