[cobalt-users] Mutt Info and my 3rd Try!!! (to many e-mail accounts!!!)

["Franklin S Werren" <fswerren@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All;

Well it appears that Mutt has a DOS issue
So far every major version of Linux has it
Here is the RedHat version (9) info

Well looking into Mutt, it is an e-mail client but
I do not know if being a client will effect the average Cobalt user.
nor do I know if even being installed is a problem.
When I tried it on my Raq 4 and it wanted to set itself up
so I skip that part.... and I wondered if Cobalt stuck that
in just to be nice!!!
If someone is brave... just type "mutt" from the command line in SSH
you will see what I mean!!
