mutt crash report

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

You should report crashes to the developers of the program. Hopefully they can fix it and release a new version. After they do, we can update the MacPorts port to that version.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

I will but I'm not optimistic about a response. My understanding is that the mutt devs are adamantly opposed to merging in the sidebar patch, so they’ll almost certainly INVALIDATE or WONTFIX any report involving it, and I don’t know if the lone sidebar maintainer has any bandwidth for debugging some rando’s problem.

[macports@…]

FWIW, the ​mutt-kz fork (created to integrate notmuch support) doesn’t seem to exhibit this behaviour.

mutt-devel has been replaced by neomutt.
