Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.13-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

recently I came across the following bit of code in the source file
mutt-1.5.13/account.c (near the end of the file):

    void mutt_account_unsetpass (ACCOUNT* account)
    {
      account->flags &= !M_ACCT_PASS;

building the manual

Where is it documented what tools are needed to build the manual (in
CVS)?  

Thanks

Thanks David.  FWIW, I attempted to follow the directions on an older
system, but was not able to get it to work (in what I consider to be a
reasonable amount of time).  I have stuff installed for docbook but
needed the xsl stuff.  After unzipping it and setting the variables
mentioned, I still got errors when Mutt tried to build the manual,
albeit different ones from before.

I must be getting old...  I no longer have the patience to spend time
debugging this kind of thing.  I ended up building it on my FC5 system
and just copying it.  Of course, I remember the days when an entire
Linux distribution fit on a few floppies (where "a few" is some number
between 10 and 30)...    [Point being the system has gotten a whole
lot bigger and more complicated, such that keeping track of every
peice (and how to install/configure it) is no longer possible...]

:)

doc/manual.pdf

There is a target named `manual.pdf' in doc/Makefile.am, but the
resulting PDF file has a lot of undefined references.

To get a neat looking PDF manual, one needs to run pdfjadetex
*three* times in a row, so please review the attached patch for
inclusion in CVS.

Thanks.

This works fine.
But today's editors add the sequence EF BB BF at the beginning of the file which normally should be ignored.
Mutt exits instead with a fatal error message.

 If you ask me, this is not a mutt bug but a bug of those editors since 
 that magic sequence will be considered binary data by almost any tool 
 reading the input.

 I only saw pieces of "software" on Windows doing that so that I think 
 there it may be some sort of library routine being evil.

 Of couse, mutt could be relatively easy made to ignore these few bytes 
 and adjust $config_charset internally... but it's not a mutt bug I'd 
 say.
