NOTE:
Mutt 1.2.5.1 was released on January 1, 2002. This is the last maintenance update of the 1.2 branch of mutt and fixes a a security hole which can be remotely exploited!
The mutt included in these RPMs supports:
mutt is linked against ncurses. However, the SRPM provides the possibility to build an Slang version as well - please refer to the documentation.
All RPMs include two additional "wrapper" scripts for mutt:
cmutt
: Shell script to call mutt after
checking and - if necessary - changing the
TERM
environment variable. That way, mutt
uses colours even if TERM
wasn't set right
initially (given a colour capable terminal, of course).
xmutt
: Shell script to start mutt in a
terminal window (xterm
or rxvt
).
All RPMs come in two flavours: With and
without
Roland Rosenfeld's
compressed folder
patch. The ones with compressed folder
support have the additional extension .cfp
and include a second patch to Muttrc
to
enable compressed folder support for folders compressed
with gzip and bzip2.
Note that all RPMs were build from the same
SRPM, using a so-called Meta Spec File. To use
this functionality and (re)build an RPM for your distro,
you have to install the SRPM -- a simple rpm
--rebuild
is not recommended.
All RPMs can be rebuilt as ordinary user.
For more information - especially, if you're interested in
rebuilding the SRPM - and for the RPM ChangeLog please
refer to the RPMS.README file:
mutt-1.2.5.1-1.RPMS.README
RPMs are only available for Red Hat Linux 7.x. RPMs for other distributions (with or without the compressed folder patch) can be built from the SRPM listed above. Please follow the instructions given in the RPMS.README file.
Notes for the RHL 7.x RPMs:
Mutt is configured with ncurses 5.2 and is using
mutt_dotlock
(SGID mail), so it works with
an out-of-the-box Red Hat system (Red Hat has rather
strict permissions on /var/spool/mail
).
They also contain an entry in the window manager menu
(if your window manager uses Red Hat's
desktop
entries like e.g. KDE).
