Oh; oops, yep :-)

Hmmm...  I didn't see anything that mentioned it, but I could have
missed it...

Anyway, I tried that old faithful of methods (blow everything away,
re-extract the source, and reconfigure) and it worked the second time
around -- go figure.  I can now make an IMAP connection to the Evil
Exchange server, so I can get off of my PC for good!  Now to figure
out how to get urlview to work so that I can catch up on my daily
comic strip emails, which have been piling up thanks to other problems
with LookOut! at the office...

% 
%  You are confusing different things here:
% 
%  - the getopts(1) utility, which has no relevance whatsoever for mutt
%  - the getopt(3c) library function, which is available under Solaris

I figured that they were different, but don't know from libraries and
so don't know :-)


Sorry for the false alarm!

:-D
