Re: New Mutt 1.4 package???
Gary,
Sorry for the sluggish response time -- it is not for a lack of
interest...

I am willing with the caveat below.

I didn't know that you have already dealt with the text vs. binary mode
issues. This is good news.

I'm really backed up right now. Would you be willing to deal with the
currently reported problems?
o source package seems to be broken
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-07/msg01097.html
o read-only mbox problem under Windows 9x/Me
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-07/msg00963.html
o lock count exceeded problem
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-07/msg01097.html
I'm willing (without coercion) to assume maintainership after the above
have been resolved. Otherwise, I'm still willing to assume
maintainership but I cannot guarantee when the above will be resolved.
BTW, does your mutt build display international characters correctly?
Mine does not.
Thanks,
Jason
