Package: mutt Version: 1.5.17-2 Severity: minor Tags: patch The current documentation for the sidebar patch is only in /usr/share/doc/mutt/README.Patches. Apparently it is also out of date wrt http://www.lunar-linux.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44 (the sidebar patch homepage).
The attached patch ships an extra mutt sample configuration file as /usr/share/doc/mutt/examples/sidebar.muttrc(.gz)?, shamelessly copied from the above URL. Looking at it, in the spirit of other muttrc configuration files, it is trivial to understand how to configure properly the sidebar feature. At the end of the file there is the various option documentation, still copied from the above URL. You might consider moving that part to /usr/share/doc/mutt/README.Patches, bringing the sidebar part of that file up to date.
