I have no feedback from others about it whether it works. Given the 
current design of hcache, the patch does some dangerous things (i.e. it 
might crash mutt, return wrong information, etc.), so that I have no 
final "go" from Brendan to include it. Feel free to attach further info 
to the ticket :) though I have seen no trouble since using it.
