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 copied the pmail setup on top of my mutt setup, which I had installed
over the pmail setup. I think they both use .pmailrc and in BL2 and I
think in BL3.32 I could not get pmail to work any more after installing
the BL3 mutt package because it change .pmailrc to a different format.

To my surprise, I have them both working in BL3.40 but this was not until
I modified 'mu' and added a $1 at the end of it. I can now type mu a AT b.c
and get a screen with the To: line already filled in, Enter key to get the
Subject line which I then fill in, write a mail and send it and it gets
sent instead of an error message.

Before I modified mu I got an error message about child and 27 or 127 when
I tried to send anything. I just got a mail here that I sent with pmail.


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.
