If you want to try a more recent version of gnutls, you can get a newer
version of the patch for mutt at:
<http://www.mcdonald.org.uk/andrew/mutt-gnutls/>
The most recent version of the patch there requires gnutls 0.3.2 (or a
current CVS version). (0.2.11 is the most recent packaged version with
Debian).


Regards,


Andrew
