mutt stable branch with some hacks
1MUTT HACKERS BEWARE

3A word of warning about string comparisons: Since mutt may run in a
4huge variety of locales, case-insensitive string comparisons and
5case conversions may be dangerous. For instance, in iso-8859-9,
6tolower('I') is DIFFERENT from 'i' - it's indeed the Turkish dotless
7lowercase i.

9For this reason, always use the ascii_* functions defined in ascii.h
10and implemented in ascii.c when comparing or handling strings which
11are defined as us-ascii. This concerns lots of text-based
12protocols, message header tags, character set names, domain names,
13e-mail addresses, etc.
