I've never done much with lisp, but it has always seemed the most

thing to choose to embed for programmability.

I also love now neatly using Lisp's bracketed syntax inserted into mutt
lines as a clean escape into Lisp.


I was excited by the possibility too.  :-)

However, just so everyone is clear, MuttLisp is more of a syntactic 
enhancement for the muttrc than a real language.  You can use it to make 
some decisions, but it doesn't have functions, lambdas, loops, or its 
own variables.  Of course, maybe that will expand in the future!


See the manual examples to get an idea what it can currently do.

xoauth2 is deprecated, but some providers, e.g. Microsoft, are still

I have oauth working with Gmail using oauthbearer.  One motivation for
switching, if xoauth2 also works with Gmail, is that the python script
supporting oauthbearer is python2 (deprecated) and I don't have the
python chops to upgrade the script.


I believe the new contrib script will work for both.

Mutt is one of a tiny handful of habitable islands in the raging sea of
MUAS.  It is perhaps the most supportive and rewarding of all of them,
when one has learned its terrain.

Carefully maintaining and improving it is time valuably spent.  I'm sure
I'm not alone in being grateful to you for this.  Thank you :)

Cool!

Looking at the release notes I wonder what is the difference between
oauthbearer and xoauth2.

switching, if xoauth2 also works with Gmail, is that the python script
supporting oauthbearer is python2 (deprecated) and I don't have the

mutt 2.0.0 released

[Kevin J. McCarthy]

Hello Mutt Users,

I'm pleased to announce the release of version 2.0.0.

Instructions for downloading are available at 
, or the tarball can be directly 
downloaded from .  Please take the time 
to verify the signature file against my public key.


This release had a major version number increase because of a few 
backward incompatible changes.  Please take the time to read the release 
notes at : the first section there 
lists those changes.  Also see the UPDATING file for the full list of 
changes.


Several of the new features in this release came from other 
contributors.  My thanks to them, and to all the others who helped by 
submitting tickets, testing, doing translation, and just providing moral 
support. :-)


Lastly, a note that I have resigned my GPG key to extend the expiration 
date.  You can obtain the updates from the keyservers, mutt's website, 
my website, or WKD.


Thank you,

-Kevin
