My mistake, I misremembered the way I installed mutt. I thought that
this version only did header caching for mails in /var/spool/mail or
something like that, and that you needed to patch it for it to do
_IMAP_ header caching. So indeed there is no point to what I said above.

My own email to then maintainer dates from june, 5, 2005.
As I said, I'd be willing but not wanting since I fear I would be
incompetent.
