Hi

Error msg : "Error in /home/rob/.mutt/muttrc, line 30: sidebar_visible: 
unknown variable"
This error is reported belonging to an older version of Mutt, but the 
compiled one in use is modern.  Sidebar has been around for a long time 
10+ yrs.
Note: Cygwin Mutt package being used in MSYS2 with the latest updates.
