A huge thank you to those who posted here and sent private email. I now have a much better working mutt, and I can send emails too. I'm not quite sure how I managed the latter, but I'm not complaining
I have now caught up with three people who have sent me ideas and/or patches for three of my distributions. Now I just need to find the time to implement them

A book? Heh, not really; certainly not about mutt. You think?
I did go back to collect my comments from your journal entries, though. I want to tidy them up, flesh out the result, and eventually post it as an intro/tutorial on plasmasturm.
And thanks for the beer offer. :-)
