I'm not subscribed to mutt-dev, so I may miss out on replies. Otherwise, I have no imperative reason to see a new release any time soon. I was concerned that Mutt would fall into Netscape's trap of waiting too long for releases. But then I checked with competing terminal-based mail clients and discovered that Pine's last stable release was in 2006, and Alpine's was in 2008. I guess Mutt's pretty much won the battle of old-school mail clients? :-) -- "Computers are useless; they can only give you answers." - Pablo Picasso
