I do use RPMs, but have never built one, so I'm no expert... ;-)

But, maybe the person who built either package had a wrong system date
??? There is a BUILDTIME file that may be a factor.

What you *could* do is simply "rpm -e mutt". This will remove the global
Muttrc file, so back it up in case you're using it. If you're using a
.muttrc in your home dir, rpm won't touch it. Then, install the 1.2
package with either "rpm -i mutt-1.2..." or "rpm -U mutt-1.2..."

Good luck!
