Me too! Thanks for doing this.

I just built the ncurses-5.5 library with --enable-ext-mouse and
built mutt-1.5.15 with this library and your patch on a machine
running SunOS 5.8. With the minimal use I've given it so far, it
seems to work fine.
I know mutt is intended to be driven from the keyboard, and I much
prefer using the keyboard to the mouse for almost everything, but I
run mutt in an xterm window right alongside Firefox (dual-monitor
display) and with the mouse already in my hand from using Firefox,
it's just natural to want to click on any new message that arrives
in mutt.

Gary
