RHBA-2012:1143 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated mutt packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.

Description

Mutt is a text-mode mail user agent. Mutt supports color, threading, arbitrary
key remapping, and a lot of customization.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the mutt agent failed to allow interruptions during

getch calls. As a consequence, the signal "SIGINT" (Ctrl-C) was not handled
correctly when waiting for user input. This update modifies the underlying code
to allow interruptions. (BZ#313291)

All users of mutt are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
