I frankly don't know much about mutt-ng other than what you said there and
that it's a fork of the mutt codebase. Rumor on the mutt lists is that it
isn't very active, and I got the impression it was a fork that had "flamed
out".
I personally don't care one way or the other if you wanted to package it,
unless it would interfere with mutt or its mailbox(es). Is mutt-ng still
using mbox and/or Maildir?

It is, as almost all such discussions do, but the wrong perspective is that
the OS somehow should or does care what a text file looks like, and that
applications should blindly assume that all files are text files. They
aren't. Fprintf(), fscanf(), etc etc etc on a non-"{r,w}t"-opened file
should be punishable by death, as should fseek()ing around in a
"{r,w}t"-opened file. And these things shall cease to happen amongst you.

Small improvements, probably so. Big-picture improvements... Nobody's sure
what a new Big Picture should even look like, so I don't know if you can
really say that. Maybe what setup is trying to do really can't be done
materially better in some other way, in which case the requirements need to

Then at configure-time, EXEEXT gets set to either nothing or ".exe" or whatever

PropertyPage::OnInit() be moved to a private "PropertyPage::PreOnInit()" method,
or words to that effect?

#x27;s five of one, half-dozen of the other.
I'll just say this: check *one* of them in. Arguing about these trivialities is
