If possible it would be nice to include the sidebar and compressed folder patches to mutt. There are patches available for both the stable tree and the devel tree (although it's hard to find the sidebar patch for the 1.4.x tree). AFAIK there are no stability issue with either of these patches.
URL for sidebar patch: http://thomer.com/mutt/
URL for compressed folder patch: http://www.spinnaker.de/mutt/compressed/
This task depends upon

dorphell, my 2c:
we already have a mutt and an mutt-devel package. And finally there is a project aout there called mutt-ng where some actual development take place. Instead if collecting patches here and there we might kick mutt-devel form the repos, introduce mutt-ng to unstable instead, it can be build from snapshots only anyway. Aslo mutt-ng has way better i18n stuff built in.
This way we might can pleace all users, the more stable concerned and the adventurous without getting messy and hard to maintain PKGBUILD.

Yi Qiang, you requested it:

here you can see some of the features of mutt-ng. The thing with the patches is that Arch actually just provide fixing patches, not functionality extensions. Mutt-ng instead is a complete well featured project. Do you feel like next generation?

Looks good to me.

I talked to Eric (mutt-devel maintainer), it's fine for him, too. So I assign this one to me and hope to find some time soon :)

muttng has been added to unstable. Just don't expect that I rebuild that every day... :)
