There's a (by now already quite old) libc5 version in bo-unstable/binary-i386/mutt_0.88-1bo1.deb . If you want a newer version, please compile it from source; the Debian mutt source should still compile on a bo system without problems. > Also, I was considering installing libc6 - is it difficult?

No. You have a fairly big chance of breaking your system that way. You should use the autoupgrade script which can be found e.g. at http://www.debian.org/devel/autoup.sh .
