Well, I use it, so I compiled it in. As a matter of fact, I have compiled in
IMAP and POP support also, even though I don't use these.

Well, did you install 1.01i from RPM? Then rpm -U would have taken care
of these issues. I upgraded one machine which was running 0.96i of mutt
with this rpm without problems. This has been a problem of installing
rpms over targzs. There are other problems when you install like this -
Requires: are not handled properly and so on.

Exactly. But I prefer to download tgz's and compile them to
RPMs. tgz allows me flexibility in the compilation part; rpm makes the
postinstallation maintanance easier. So the best way is to combine the
two - get tgzs and make your own rpms.
