Hi Brian,
I know about incompatibility between last releases of Mixmaster and Mutt,
I noticed that mixmaster is still alive only to remark that perhaps
the code, the last version of it, should remain available.
But, sorry, I'm not a programmer, not anymore :-) so for me it's
impossible, even to think, to take on the hard work of updating your
job.
Mutt and Mixmaster Development teams should cooperate for
interoperability.

The explanation I wrote is in italian, but the wiki speaks english.
