Thank you!  That -pnum option threw me.

So, I successfully compiled the app.  Here’s the problem, it did not replace my 
system mutt, but simply installed it in the directory in Downloads.  I haven’t 
had a program do that before.  Did I need to remove the old mutt and maybe 
place the files in there before building, or did I miss a step? (Do you need 
more info to proceed?)

Best,
Conor Cook
