Well, he wasn't 100% clear, but I have to assume that his "first attempt" was to send e-mail directly to the mutt-dev mailing list. AFAIK if you submit a bug via the bug tracking system, you don't have to be subscribed to the list... I think that's perfectly reasonable behavior. He wasn't able to use the BTS because his client is broken... that's a different problem. -- Derek D.
