Strictly speaking? Debian’s mutt packagers include several patches. These packages do several things, from make mutt comply with the Debian packaging standards to include updates from CVS. They also include the following patches:
Debian.Md.etc_mailname_gethostbyname(the Debian standard requires the use of /etc/mailname for @___ defaults) Debian.Md.use_debian_editor
(guess)patch-1.5.11.rr.compressed.1
(for compressed mbox’s I believe)patch-1.5.4.vk.pgp_verbose_mime
(not sure)patch-1.5.5.1.nt.xtitles.3.ab.1 (makes mutt emit terminal commands to set the xterm title if xterm_set_titles is set to yes) patch-1.5.6.dw.maildir-mtime.1
(allows maildirs to be sorted by mtime)patch-1.5.6.tt.assumed_charset.1
(makes mutt’s charset support first-class) ~Kyle --This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it.
