Mutt 1.5.18 was released on May 17, 2008. This release contains 6 months of bug fixes, documentation improvements and performance enhancements since the release of 1.5.17, but only one new feature ($time_inc, for controlling the rate at which status updates are displayed). We're still in feature freeze (mostly) for 1.6. The list of items blocking the release of mutt 1.6 may be found here: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/milestone/1.6 Patches for any issues found there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all the contributors for this release, especially Rocco for authoring well over half the changes.
Mutt 1.5.17 was released on November 1, 2007. This is a collection of bugfixes since the last release, as we stabilize the code for a 1.6 release. For those who are interested, the work left before 1.6 can be found here: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/milestone/1.6
Mutt 1.4.2.3 was released on June 9, 2007. This release fixes CVE-2007-2683 (gecos overflow) and CVE-2007-1558 (APOP MD5 collision attack).
Mutt 1.4.2.2 was released on July 14, 2006. This release fixes CVE-2006-3242, a buffer overflow that could be triggered by a malicious IMAP server.
Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client for Unix operating systems. The current stable public release version is 1.4.2.3; the current development release version is 1.5.18. For more information, see the following:
Some of Mutt's features include:
Though written from scratch, Mutt's initial interface was based largely on the ELM mail client. To a large extent, Mutt is still very ELM-like in presentation of information in menus (and in fact, ELM users will find it quite painless to switch as the default key bindings are identical). As development progressed, features found in other popular clients such as PINE and MUSH have been added, the result being a hybrid, or "mutt." At present, it most closely resembles the SLRN news client. Mutt was originally written by Michael Elkins but is now developed and maintained by the members of the Mutt development mailing list.
