Ok, let's see if Jeff has something else to say.

Ok, thanks for having a look. It looks like the only one that would be worth supporting as a mailutils default is messages, but I don't feel it's a good idea to have frm and readmsg from elm+ and messages from mailutils by default. All or none, I'd say, so none. > > Mailutils is under active development right now. > elm-me+ isn't unmaintained either. Yeah, I know.

BTW, what serious bug? Yeah. I'm not uploading it anyway. There's some build problems right now. The bug is in libmailutils-dev.
