You can always run 'mutt -v', which includes a patch list.

As for the details of this particular patch, I'm uncertain, so I'll not
give an unauthoritative answer (i.e. a guess).  I'm pretty sure you
don't need any hooks, though; I'd guess that's the whole reason for the
patch.  If it does use hooks as shown above, though, then it should be
easy to create a hook for your .tgz maildirs as well.

good times,
Vineet
