This is a stable but somewhat oldish release of mutt.

> mutt-devel

This is a development version of mutt.  Is newer and has more features than
plain mail/mutt, but has possibly more bugs too.

> mutt-lite

This is the same program as mail/mutt but with several optional features
turned off.

> mutt-ng

This is a branch of mutt, that tries to incorporate various patches that are
floating around.  What I wrote above about mail/mutt-devel applies here too,
only more so.

> mutt_vc_query

Seems to be some utility for mutt to handle vCard stuff; not mutt itself.


Personally I use mail/mutt-devel and am quite happy with it.
At this point in time mail/mutt-ng feels a bit too experimental for my taste
while mail/mutt is a bit too old and lacks some features I like.
