Wow. I wasn't even using linux then :)

Lemme take a stab at it --
1.2.5i is officially BugFree(tm), and the development branch has
features and stuff that still need to have the bugs fixed. So when the
development branch gets all fixed up real nice-like, they'll make it
1.4.0.

Well, there was a time in your life when you were using another mail
client, right? That means you had to migrate to mutt from something else
at one point. I'm sure you'll be able to migrate from mutt 1.2 to 1.4
just fine. I don't think the differences will be as radical as you
think.
Besides, why not just use the devel version of mutt? I'm a happy
1.3.15i user, I've found no bugs thusfar.
