Availibility

Documentation

The documentation is also availible with the Mutt distribution, located in the htmldoc subdirectory for easy reference.

Mailing List

To be notified of news and events about Mutt, send mail to mutt-request@cs.hmc.edu with a subject of "subscribe" (without quotes).

NOTE: Do NOT send subscription requests to the main list, only to mutt-request@cs.hmc.edu.

DISCLAIMER

This is ALPHA software. Make backup copies of your important mail or don't blame me if your mailbox is trashed. I've been using Mutt solely for a few months now, and the actual folder manipulation code seems quite stable. I've not had any reports of trashed mailboxes, but better safe than sorry.
