 Ok, let's end that useless conversation about the color of mutt-ng.

 Name those "little annoyances of mutt", that mutt-ng fixes.
 The new features mutt-ng introduces and why are they useful. Also
 explain the situation when mutt crashes and mutt-ng does not. If this
 really happens with the latest version of mutt, consider sending a PR
 anyway, no matter whether mutt-ng enters /usr/ports/ or not.
 
 For example:
 1. mutt and mutt-devel do A when I expect them to do B, which I find
    very annoying. This cannot be tuned via muttrc.
 2. mutt-ng has this nice thing C that I use when I need to do D, this
    feature cannot be found in mail/mutt/files/ nor in
    mail/mutt-devel/files/.
 3. etc. etc. etc.
 
 Just convince us that mutt-ng really worths.
 
 Regards,
 Vasil
