Nothing but -p1.

I guess that your starting point when isn't a/the right unchanged
version of mutt.

Something like this should in principle work (using GNU tar and
zcat):
$ tar xzf /path/to/mutt-1.2i.tar.gz
$ mv mutt-1.2 mutt-1.3.4
$ cd mutt-1.3.4
$ zcat /path/to/diff-1.2i-1.3i.gz | patch -p1
$ zcat /path/to/diff-1.3i-1.3.1i.gz | patch -p1
$ zcat /path/to/diff-1.3.1i-1.3.2i.gz | patch -p1
$ zcat /path/to/diff-1.3.2i-1.3.3i.gz | patch -p1
$ zcat /path/to/diff-1.3.3i-1.3.4i.gz | patch -p1
$ ./configure
$ make
However, there still will be trouble with some files (Changelog,
build-release and some po/*.po files) for the reasons Roland
Rosenfeld told about in another message in this thread.
You can either ignore the rejects if you don't need the concerned
.po files, or look at the .rej files and try to do the patching in
your editor.
