Hi!

Is there some sort of "configuration converter" that reads in a .muttrc
made for some old version of Mutt, and writes out one conforming to the
current version, while replacing entries no longer supported by valid
ones, where possible? 

\begin{dream}
  Even better it were interactive... after reading the configuration it
  presents some nice menus where one could view and change configuration
  variables, hooks, aliases, etc., maybe even sorted by class (alias
  handling, pgp stuff, forwarding, composing, ...)... presenting the
  appropriate section of the manual for each entry... oh well...
\end{dream}

But a simple auto-converter would be enough, I guess. The problem is
that I recently "converted" some people from Elm/Pine to Mutt, but they
still use some rather old versions (as old as 0.89) and simply refuse to
meddle around with the configuration as would be needed in order to
upgrade ("why, it's working for me..."). Since it was me to (gently)
push them to Mutt, I sort of feel responsible...

Tom
