This is the NeoMutt Project
What is NeoMutt?
NeoMutt is a project of projects:
- A place to gather all the patches against Mutt
- A place for all the developers to gather
This builds community and reduces duplicated effort.
NeoMutt was created when Richard Russon (@FlatCap) gathered all the old Mutt patches, sorted through them, fixed them up, and documented them.
