After repeated attempts, I finally got Homebrew to download, build and install mutt with the sidebar patch enabled. At least, that's what I thought I did, and mutt doesn't complain about the sidebar_... variables in my .muttrc file. And if I do the mutt -v command, the last line of output says:
patch-1.5.22.sidebar.gentoo-openbsd But I don't see any sidebar. I've set sidebar_visible to yes, but no sidebar appears. I also defined some keys to toggle sidebar visibility: macro index b '<enter-command>toggle sidebar_visible<enter><refresh>' macro pager b '<enter-command>toggle sidebar_visible<enter><redraw-screen>' but they have no effect. Any ideas? I've been using mutt for years without the sidebar, but it seems like a useful feature. Thanks! -pd
