This counts people who have the mutt or mutt-i packages installed; you can't
have both.  Naturally you want to add 43 + 39 = 82 total entries.

No... the 8 is people who have installed the pine package, but haven't run
the binary in a long time.  3 is people who have upgraded pine within the
last 24 hours or so; this is unusually low for a package, but since you have
to build pine yourself from sources and they probably release less often,
it's not too surprising.

Have fun,
