Hey Guys .. 

Question from the FAQ I couldnt find .. MUTT .. found no port .. 

  Pointers from http://mutt.cotdazr.org/ ..

It says it wants 

  ncurses (ncurses-1.9.9g[961202]ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/zm/zmbenhal/ncurses/)
 or
  slang (slang-0.99-38 [970121]ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang/)

Looking on our 2.1.6 and 2.0.5 systems of free bsd I dont see terminfo ..
but I do see ncurses references from locate .. 

When I grabbed the MUTT sources mutt-0.85e.tar.gz .. did a FreeBSD ./configure

FOLLOWs last outputs of config.log and make -Ad on the 2.0.5 .. 

Ideas of how or if I can safely get MUTT .. seems to bean elm and pine for my 
needs .. with or without external ncurses install .. terminfo install will
be greatly appreciated...  /Everett/
