Sorry for the long delay in responding. I was away on vacation for
a week.

I don't know enough about Windows to speculate on why his binary
might not work on XP, but it seems safer to use something you're
sure works.

So how did the recompiling of mutt on Cygwin go? It sounds like
that didn't help, but I can't tell if there was a problem with the
compilation or with the binary. If you are going to run mutt in a
Cygwin environment, you might try just downloading Cygwin's mutt
package.
