Both mutt and pmail are now working in BL2.  I don't know why pmail would 
not work before.  .pmailrc is set up differently in BL3 than in BL2 for 
pmail (Steven's mail program) but Christof appears to have set up mutt to 
utilize the two versions of .pmailrc.

I still sometimes have problems on some computers with the 'mail' menu 
unless I delete the code that creates the bold (1) instead of nonbold (1) 
- I type and nothing happens with the bold in the menu.
