port install mutt-devel That will get you 1.5.18 In general, I think that you will find that macports packages are better maintained than fink. To see the available add on features port variants mutt-devel which gives: idn: Internationalized Domain Name support pop: POP support imap: IMAP support ssl: Secure Sockets Layer support sasl: Simple Authentication and Security Layer support debug: Debugging support gnuregex: Use the GNU regular expression library compress: Compressed folders headercache: Enable header caching (requires gdbm or qdbm) qdbm: Use QDBM database gdbm: Use GNU dbm database db4: Use Berkeley DB database nntp: NNTP support deepif: Allow nested if-else sequences in strings date_conditional: Allow the format of dates in the index to vary based on how recent the message is xlabel: Custom message-tagging - X-Label: smtp: Include internal SMTP relay support trash: Add a Trash folder sidebar: Add a sidebar with a list of folders gpgme: Enable GPGME crypto support So for example to add imap, headercache, and ssl support do port install mutt-devel+imap+headercache+ssl Best, Marc
