Hi list, 

I uploaded a demo of the Mutt add-on to my web site: 

http://www.volny.cz/cce.zizkov/download/mutt-bl2.tgz 

This is only for BL2 for the moment and will be improved 
very soon. It is just if you want to have a look at it.

I successfully compiled an older version of mutt (1.2.5.1)
that unfortunately does not support the pop3 feature :-(
So the BL3 version will not contain that feature, but will be
able to send and receive mail through pmail. 

The BL2 version will be full-featured, but requires either the 
hard disk installation or some manipulation with the /tmp directory 
(second RAM disk).

These things is not very understandable to me. When I compiled the 
older version I did NOT disable libiconv, but the resulting binary 
has no libiconv dependency at all. 

Steven, would you be interested to compile mutt 1.4.2.1 in your 
common compiling environment for BL3?
