Latest News
Mutt 1.2.5 was released on July 28, 2000. This is the latest maintenance
update of the stable branch of mutt, and this time, we really suggest that you
update.
This release fixes at least one grave IMAP error which may lead to confusing
display and other strangeness, and our instances of the "wuftpd format bug",
which had (mostly) the effect that your IMAP server's operator could break into
your computer with some work.
Mutt 1.2 was released on May 9, 2000. Note that
this version contains several significant changes, and users should
not upgrade without reading the
release announcement and the
README.UPGRADE file.

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.
