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.

       For  a more up-to-date list of bugs, errm, fleas, please visit the mutt
       project's bug tracking system under http://bugs.guug.de/.  To report  a
       bug, please use the flea(1) program.
