Neomutt is the same as pristine mutt but patched with features like sidebar, notmuch, indexcolor etc. So you can either use neomutt or the Debian mutt/mutt-patched. The executable binary is /usr/bin/mutt in both cases. If you want to switch back to Debian mutt you have to remove/purge neomutt-common first as the mutt package has no Replace yet. Your configuration can stay as it is, though. Maybe you want to configure the neomutt features with some customized rc-files documented in /usr/share/doc/neomutt-common/examples. So there is nothing magic with neomutt at all...... Elimar -- "Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself." -Friedrich Nietzsche
