forwarded 484538 [EMAIL PROTECTED] severity 484538 important thanks Hi Terry,
we are having some trouble with the sidebar patch in the Debian package, notably it seems to break detecting new mail in maildir folders. I don't use the patch myself, so I can't say much about the impact, but Stefano usually right in what he's saying.

Stefano, while this is certainly a "bad" bug, I'm downgrading it to important again as it does not have any impact on the main mutt package, and does not break any other feature from the mutt-patched package (there are none) (, and doesn't make the package completely useless... somehow). I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks, if there's a fix, please feel free to upload a new mutt version. I've added you to the pkg-mutt project on alioth, so you should even be able to commit to the bzr repository there. On the other hand, if someone thinks this is a RC bug, and is not fixable before the Lenny freeze, I opt we drop the mutt-patched package again. debian/rules has a switch BUILD_PATCHED that should suffice to lobotomize the build. As said, I'll be on vac, a NMU would be very welcome by any interested party. Christoph -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.df7cb.de/
