Hi, folks --
...and then Hall Stevenson said...

% Error in /home/hall/.muttrc, line 18: <0: invalid value
% source: errors in /home/hall/.muttrc
% Press any key to continue

% This is the "guilty" line:
%
% set sendmail_wait=<0
%
% Perfectly valid, I thought. Worked fine with 1.0.x. And even the sample
% Muttrc file shows it as an option.
Hall, you've already seen the answer to this, but it's "the value must be
numeric, not descriptive".
Mutt folks, is this any tougher to fix than the attached patch? We keep
hearing this question (no, Hall, you're not alone!), so it seems that the
manual needs a little clarification...
Let's see how I did making my first patch :-)
:-D
