On Debian 9 (amd64), I installed Mutt. The synaptic description says the
package is 1.7.2 and has neoMutt patches. But the "V" command in Mutt reports
the version as "NeoMutt 20170113 (1.7.2)".
I searched and read a number of list threads on the matter of Mutt vs.
neoMutt, but most of the threads I found were a few years old, so I do not
know the outcome of the matter. I also found a web page which says that
Debian 10 is going to offer a "neoMutt" package. Does this mean that Debian
10 also is going to offer a "Mutt" package, or is neoMutt going to be the sole
Mutt offering?
I used Mutt years ago; I wish now to run the stable version of the original
Mutt, maintained by Elkins and company. And, if at all possible, I wish to
install an official Mutt package from the Debian repository.
