Dear David,

Thank you.  I did attempt to rebuild from the source, although I am
having trouble with the links at the mutt.org website.  Neither of the
mutt-1.x.tar.gz links will load, and at sourceforge I can only find
the dev or 1.4.2.2i versions.  I tried to build both the dev version
and a 1.4.2.3 tar that I found elsewhere (legitimate-looking), but
both failed at the make install phase.  I do not have the errors in
front of me now, as I am at my work computer (I am trying to build
from my home laptop).

Basic question, is there any reason for a novice computer-er like me
to use mutt beyond the novelty of emailing in Terminal, or am I in
over my head with mail servers and the like?

Thank you all for your hard work keeping this sort of project going.
I follow other open source communities, as well, and the work that all
of you do is both amazing and exciting!

Best,
Conor Cook
