There are basically two sources of bugs included in mutt-bl2.tgz
and mutt-bl3.tgz: 

- When I tried to compile the program in bl1 and bl2 I had to remove 
many features (probably authenticated SMTP) in order to get it to 
compile at all. The binaries in both packets are hardly more than 
demos. Whoever wants to use mutt for real work should compile it 
himself. 

- The configuration of the mail client is rather complicated and 
unconventional. It is not completely covered by the Mutt documentation
(eg. the sendmail script has a slightly different function). So the 
documentation might be even misleading. If you change eg. the mail 
box format the whole mail transport concept of my configuration will 
stop working. On the other hand studying the Mutt documentation is the 
only way to understand and fix the configuration files included in 
the packets.
