I hope you don't think I was complaining about a few minor problems with 
mutt for BL.  I was really impressed that you got it mostly working, 
with pmail instead of whatever is normally used in linux.  I can't even 
get lynx mail to work with pmail.

The second version of mutt BL2 even works with my ISP, where Steven's mail 
script is not working for some strange reason.

If your make any more changes to mutt, it would help if you included in 
your replacement .pmail the memo line, so the 'mail' script will work 
(test it out, I am not sure that is all that is needed), and instead of 
replacing links.cfg, add the zgv lines to the end of it so we won't lose 
any changes we already made.  You probably simply zipped together your own 
setup.

And maybe you could not include all the files from kbd.tgz but suggest 
users install it themselves, to save download time.
