[arch-general] new build of mutt in [testing]
Hi everyone, I have made a new build of mutt with two significant changes: 1. Use ncurses rather than slang. (Slang made sense before, but ncurses supports Unicode now, is more featureful and popular, and MuttWiki recommends it as a solution to many slang-related problems.) 2. Use libidn for internationalized domain name support. As emails are important, the build is now in [testing] and I will wait a few days before moving it to [extra]. Feedback is welcome! Cheers. -- Gaetan

Works fine for me. And I have the feeling that it somehow takes much less time to open large mailboxes now (about 5-10 times faster) :)

Works great here, although I don't see any performance improvements. But at least it saves me 3,62MB of disk space ;)
