No problem.

Well, the first step is recompiling mutt, which is essentially 
repeating the steps that you did to install mutt in the first place. 
Did you use fink or MacPorts to do this part for you? If so, then it's 
as easy as telling them to uninstall mutt, purge any cached copies of 
mutt (particularly for MacPorts), and then telling them to install 
mutt again.

Which reminds me: for both fink and MacPorts, there are steps you have 
to go through to make sure that they're aware that the OS was 
upgraded, so that they're using the right database of software. You'll 
need to do that (whatever it is---check the documentation/website for 
whichever one you're using).

If you didn't use fink and/or MacPorts, then you're going to have to 
do it from scratch, the way you did it the first time. Hopefully, you 
kept your old mutt source around. If so, then recompiling is easy: 
find out how you configured it the first time (it's at the top of the 
config.log file in the mutt source directory), and re-run that 
configuration command. Then do a `make clean; make && sudo make 
install` and you should be back in business.

If you didn't keep your mutt source around, then you need to do 
essentially the same thing, it'll just be more work. Start with 
downloading and unpacking the mutt source. Then figure out what 
configure options you'll want (if any), and run `./configure` with 
those options (run `./configure --help` to see what's available; 
`mutt -v` can help you remember how you compiled it the first time). 
Then run `make && sudo make install` and you should be back in 
business.

Hope that helps,
~Kyle
