The README.Debian does _not_ contain this information. The only mention is: To enable SSL support you need to install the libgcrypt1 and gnutls0 packages. NOW i can see what that means, but it would be nice if it was a bit clearer: mutt is currently packaged with SSL support using gnutls0. To enable SSL support please see the mutt manual on configuring your muttrc accordingly. I _assumed_ that when it said you need those packages it was reffering to them needing to be installed to compile mutt. (Since this is what you used to have to do to get SSL support in mutt). Of course now I see the mistake, it might avoid confusion of others who are used to the old way of doing this with mutt. Also, in woody, the default mutt (1.3.27?) although is supposed to support SSL and is linked against gnutls0 does not work. It gets an error trying to access some X509 method in the library at runtime with you add the ssl stuff in your muttrc I grabbed the mutt package from unstable and thats linked against gnutls3 (which I also grabbed from unstable). This build works, but the testing version does not. -- Nick Jennings
