Yes, this is the right place to post.

I noticed that in 1.14.1, manual.txt is installed into --docdir or
--with-docdir as it was in previous versions, but the path is
put in the system Muttrc as /usr/local/share/..., and consequently
pressing F1 gives an error that it can't find it.

Ah darn... I thought I had everything fixed but forgot about the path substitution for "help".

The reason for the problem is because the documentation is no longer rebuilt. It was already bundled into the tarball prior to 1.14.0, but was rebuilt each time regardless.

During 1.14.0 development, I rewrote one of the doc build tools in perl, which unexpectedly changed how Mutt builds from a release tarball.

For now, one workaround would be:
  ./configure ....
  (cd doc && make clean)
  make
  make install

I'll work on fixing this up and get another release out as soon as I can.
