BUGS
    None. Mutts have fleas, not bugs.

FLEAS
    Suspend/resume while editing a file with an external editor does not
    work under SunOS 4.x if you use the curses lib in /usr/5lib.  It does
    work with the S-Lang library, however.

    Resizing  the screen while using an external pager causes Mutt to go
    haywire on some systems.

    suspend/resume does not work under Ultrix.

    The help line for the index menu is not updated if you change the bind-
    ings for one of the functions listed while Mutt is running.

    project's bug tracking system under http://bugs.guug.de/. To report a
    bug, please use the flea(1) program.
