I can imagine :|
I had a run of the patch but it was really big, I was expecting something
smaller.. that meant that we have to integrate the patch with every version 
of mutt; additionally I talked with Christoph, the mutt maintaienr, and he
wasn't keen on including the patch.

IMHO we should try to keep mutt as clean as possible so we can rule out root
causes of bugs very quickly, as I said, there are many news readers that you can
use, maybe if the patch were well maintained from upstream, as the sidebar patch
is, we would have included that.

I know that at the moment we are not including the patch, so I can't do anything
to alleviate your sadness, but I hope that this mail can clarify the reasons why
we did it :-)

Cheers
Antonio

I can imagine why you don't want to maintain it yourself :)

I know, but I guess if you use mutt you know how convenient it is. It's
really a *great* news reader too (with the patch). News and mails are so
similar that I can see the point on mail clients supporting NNTP.

I guess I will have to keep using my ol' muttng package or start patching
mutt myself =(, because I won't give up using mutt as my news client =)

 maybe if the patch were well maintained from upstream, as the sidebar patch
 is, we would have included that.

AFAIK the patch is well maintained (at least I know it was, maybe is not
the case anymore). The patch linked in #403779 seems to be up to date.
Patches for mutt 1.5.20:
http://mutt.org.ua/download/mutt-1.5.20/

But yes, it seems like a very large patch indeed.

 I know that at the moment we are not including the patch, so I can't do
 anything to alleviate your sadness, but I hope that this mail can
 clarify the reasons why we did it :-)

Sure, thanks for your time and consideration :)
