>Description:
mutt -h
tells us:
" -D print the value of all variables to stderr"
but
mutt -D
dumps them to stdout.
Don't know what's better but it does not work as advertized. This option is
not documented in mutt (1) but in manual.txt (section "6.1. Command line
options").
>How-To-Repeat:
mutt -D 2>/dev/null
shows the configuartion variables
>Fix:
dump to stderr or correct manual and help text.
