Mutt is a CLI mail client. The majority of the man page is fairly straight
laced. The relevant section is below:
BUGS
None. Mutts have fleas, not bugs.
FLEAS
Suspend/resume while editing a file with an external edi
tor does not work under SunOS 4.x if you use the curses
lib in /usr/5lib. It does work with the S-Lang library,
however.
Resizing the screen while using an external pager causes
Mutt to go haywire on some systems.
suspend/resume does not work under Ultrix.
The help line for the index menu is not updated if you
change the bindings for one of the functions listed while
Mutt is running.
For a more up-to-date list of bugs, errm, fleas, please
visit the mutt project's bug tracking system under
http://bugs.guug.de/. To report a bug, please use the
flea(1) program.
