There is provision for post-isntall scripts, but I suggest a simpler approach of jsut installing /etc/muttrc.default. Then the users config is never overwritten, and a clean config is awlays available for reference.

This is important for Cygwin users to know because those who are following the instructions in /usr/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-2.38.7.README will have edited /etc/Muttrc in order to use ssmtp. Do we want 'setup.exe' (or the mutt installation process) to overwrite this file? If the answer is 'no', then should setup.exe warn the user that his/her /etc/Muttrc needs updating with any new default configuration information? If the answer is 'yes', then should setup.exe: a) Warn the user before overwriting /etc/Muttrc? b) Rename the user's /etc/Muttrc before creating a new version? Can setup.exe be expected to have this sort of detailed knowledge about all packages that it will install? -----Original Message----- From: Gary R. Van Sickle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 10:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: mutt-1.2.5i-5 I've updated the version of mutt to 1.2.5i-5. The 1.2.5i-4 build was broken, in that it was linked to a cygwin1.dll snapshot and not the released version. What's New (same as what was new in 1.2.5i-4 unless otherwise noted) ==================================================================== - Binary attachments now work properly regardless of mount mode. - Default Cygwin file mode handling has been re-enabled, so your mutt config files need only match your mount mode (i.e. you don't need unix line endings on a textmode mount). - The binaries have been built with "--enable-locales-fix". This helps with the "characters > 127 show up as `?'" problem, which results in much better usability in many non-"C" locales. - New in 1.2.5i-5: The binaries have been built with "--enable-buffy-size", which fixes a problem with mutt not detecting new mail. - New in 1.2.5i-5: Linked to currently released cygwin1.dll, version 1.3.3-2. =================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Run setup and answer all of the questions. Note that if this is the first time that you've run the new GUI version of setup, it will currently download the whole cygwin net release again. After this point it will only download what is needed.
