Mutt 1.5.6 is now the default version of mutt in the sipb locker for
the current Athena release on Solaris and Linux. Since 1.4.2, some
bugs have been fixed and there is now support for searching IMAP
mailboxes. In addition, I turned on threaded sorting by default,
defined a default certificate file (~/.mutt_certificates), and set the
default folder to be on the IMAP server instead of ~/Mail. The
previous installed version, 1.4.2, is still installed as mutt-1.4.2.
Known issues:
If graphic characters in Linux are screwed up, then you probably have
your locale set to one with a UTF-8 character set with a Latin-1
terminal, or vice versa. (This is not new with this version.)
If you get errors about "default" not being a valid color, then you
should change the references to something else like "black" or
"white". "default" is not supported on Solaris, as Solaris doesn't
have ncurses or slang.
If color doesn't work on Solaris, try setting your TERM environment
variable to "xterm-color" or some other terminal that has color
support.
If you want to revert to the previous default folder behavior, you
can add the following to your ~/.muttrc:
set folder="~/Mail"
