   ! contrib/smime.rc now uses the cms utility for SMIME encryption/decryption.

Kevin, can you please clarify - what is the cms utility?

See <https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/commit/f0ff78a5d98ee65f7501fbce3231fbe5c886f623> for the commit. It changed the openssl command parameter from "smime" to "cms" for encryption and decryption.

I cannot find it on my system. What does it replace in this context?
And, is this relevant for the "set crypt_use_gpgme=yes" use case?

No this doesn't affect gpgme.

   + --with-gsasl allows configuration with the GNU SASL library, as an
     alternative to Cyrus.


Cyrus has been around for a long time and it seems that development has either ceased or is proceeding at a glacial pace. Which is fine by me if the software is feature-complete and mature enough to have slowed the discovery of new bugs to a trickle. Are there any opinions on the list whether switching to gsasl is worthwhile for day-to-day users? It seems there are more than those two implementations out there, too.

I did this in response to <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=999672>. Since the code is new, I invite you to test it. But there are certainly going to be issues to work through, so don't feel obliged to use it. :-)
