Re: source release of mutt 1.4


The readme files that were included with the package made me think that
the author mostly uses the POP features to write to his own local mail
file, but I could be wrong.  thats why I suggested that the recently
released 1.4 may not have tested the combo I was using.  I could of
course be wrong.

I haven't been able to detect any stray .lock files laying around, and
it happens everytime I try to write to my spool file.  Once on opening,
and once on syncing, when it tries to write.

I hadn't tried building mutt 1.4 plain for a while, and after reading
gary's readme files, and his mentioning of some security fixes and a
bunch of bug fixes, I was hesitant to build from the pure source.  His
release notes suggests applying his patches to the original sources.  

If thats not needed, I could always build from scratch too, but I would
at least like to see what gary did to the code to confirm if I need to
worry about getting his code roled in to the original source I build
from.

Thanks for the information.  Its appreciated.
