I use the following patches. Those I've written and those I had to
modify (because of new code in Mutt or clashes between patches) are
available on <http://www.vinc17.org/mutt/patches/>.

* My "Save History" patch, to be able to save the history between
sessions.

http://www.vinc17.org/mutt/patches/patch-1.5.12.vl.savehist.1

* My time_inc patch prevents the progress information from being
displayed too often (thus it makes Mutt much faster under some
conditions, e.g. use via SSH); see my message to mutt-dev here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mutt-dev&m=116416850413052&w=2

http://www.vinc17.org/mutt/patches/patch-1.5.13cvs.vl.time_inc.1

* The assumed_charset and attach_charset patches.

* Aaron Schrab's parent_match patch, so that a pattern can match against
a message that you are replying to. IIRC, the original prefix was '^',
but it was recently added to Mutt, so that I changed it to '<'.

http://www.vinc17.org/mutt/patches/patch-1.5.12cvs.ats.parent_match.vl.1

* The namequot patch, fixing Mutt's bug 2014 (see bug report).

* The sysdotlock patch, to be able to use a mutt_dotlock already
installed (e.g. /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock), with the correct permissions.
Useful when the user doesn't have root access.

* Tamo's patterns patch, a patch to show the patterns menu on
typing <tab> after ~.

* The trash_folder patch.

* The rfc2368sec patch (I don't know if it is useful).

* A patch to show the version of the curses library (runtime) with
"mutt -v".

http://www.vinc17.org/mutt/patches/patch-1.5.13cvs.vl.curses_version.1
