Bug reports - where do they go?

2001-12-04 Thread Dave Smith
Hi all. I've got a couple of potential bugs, and some questions on how to debug/report them. First, the bugs: o Mutt seems to be losing track of the number of new messages. Every now and then, I end up with New: 1 in the status bar at the bottom of the screen, but there aren't any
