Patching is really quite simple.  If you have the patch program (test by
running

  patch --help

and looking for sensible results), then a simple save of the patch to
some build dir and a

  cd $your_build_dir
  tar xpfz mutt-1.4i.tar.gz
  cd mutt-1.4
  patch -p0 < ../name_of_patch
  ./configure ...
  make ...

where -p0 is probably useful but might not be necessary and then you run
the configure and make with whatever arguments you usually provide is all
it takes.

To see patching in action, surf over to 

  http://mutt.justpickone.org/mutt-build-cocktail/

and take a look at the 00.makeme.sh script; that pulls together my entire
patch cocktail in one step.


HTH & have fun!
