Comment # 2 on bug 1094717 from Dr. Werner Fink

Hmm ... mutt here had already been patched a long time ago, that is mutt was
never the original mutt as there was always (bug) reports and feature requests
to add those patches.  Now as theNeoMutt project had maintained and integrated
those patches and released in past a patch set and now their own version of
mutt called neomutt, the mutt here is in fact a neomutt.  Let's gues what
happens if I switch to original mutt back, that is without any patches: I'll
see a lot of bug reports that features do not work anymore.

A solution would be to rename current mutt to neomutt and add a new package
mutt. But for the last one an other maintainer/bugowner is required.
