No need to scrap everything. Just go grab the source tarball and build
it yourself. Or better yet you could use a spec file and build your own
mutt RPM which you could then install. Doesn't look like the 1.4i
source tarball comes with a spec so you'd have to find on on the net
somewhere or write it yourself.

Not if you build mutt from source.
Ciao,
