 I've got an info file for mutt 1.5.9 that uses header caching.

   Well, I'm not sure what the point would really be of providing more than
-ssl and non-ssl versions of mutt.  If people don't want the header
caching, then they can disable it in .muttrc.  Or rather, they can not
enable it.  :-)

  Typically if the maintainer is gone AWOL, someone else can adopt the
package.  I emailed the maintainer on 6/19/05, and have yet to get a
response.  Has anyone else on the list heard from Christian Swinehart
recently?

  fink-core: if not, should we consider mutt orphaned?
  If so, I'd be willing to adopt it, provided nobody else wants it.
