I use gentoo and so mutt 1.5.16. I used to use mutt-ng, mainly because
of the sidebar patch. It was stable, never had any problems, but it
seems that mutt-ng is dead. And because in gentoo i can build mutt
either as vanilla or with a bunch of patches (the sidebar patch as
well), i switched back to the "original" but patched mutt. Some features
of mutt-ng are integrated back, some are not. Well, you know the mutt
vs. patches thing, do you?
