mutt-1.5.4-r1 when compiled with the opts in the ebuild causes mutt to not be able to append files for some reason to emails, for isntance when replying to an email it cant quote the text, it cant include a signature file, things like that. If i take the same package and compile it from scratch with all the default options, it works fine, no patches applied or anything. Here is a diff of the config.cache's of the two installs #/usr/local/mutt-1.5.4: diff /var/tmp/portage/mutt-1.5.4-r1/work/mutt-1.5.4/config.cache /usr/local/mutt-1.5.4/config.cache 19,20d18 < ac_cv_func_RAND_egd=${ac_cv_func_RAND_egd=yes} < ac_cv_func_RAND_status=${ac_cv_func_RAND_status=yes} 39d36 < ac_cv_func_getaddrinfo=${ac_cv_func_getaddrinfo=yes} 44d40 < ac_cv_func_gethostent=${ac_cv_func_gethostent=yes} 65a62 > ac_cv_func_regcomp=${ac_cv_func_regcomp=yes} 70d66 < ac_cv_func_setsockopt=${ac_cv_func_setsockopt=yes} 113d108 < ac_cv_lib_crypto_X509_new=${ac_cv_lib_crypto_X509_new=yes} 118d112 < ac_cv_lib_ssl_SSL_new=${ac_cv_lib_ssl_SSL_new=yes} 155,157c149,150 < mutt_cv_docdir=${mutt_cv_docdir=/usr/share/doc/mutt-1.5.4-r1} < mutt_cv_external_dotlock=${mutt_cv_external_dotlock=yes} < mutt_cv_fcntl=${mutt_cv_fcntl=no} --- > mutt_cv_docdir=${mutt_cv_docdir=/usr/local/doc/mutt} > mutt_cv_fcntl=${mutt_cv_fcntl=yes} 161a155 > mutt_cv_mailpath=${mutt_cv_mailpath=/var/mail} 163,164c157,159 < mutt_cv_prefix=${mutt_cv_prefix=/usr} < mutt_cv_regex=${mutt_cv_regex=yes} --- > mutt_cv_prefix=${mutt_cv_prefix=/usr/local} > mutt_cv_regex=${mutt_cv_regex=no} > mutt_cv_regex_broken=${mutt_cv_regex_broken=no} 171a167 > mutt_cv_worldwrite=${mutt_cv_worldwrite=yes} > = a line that is in the compile that works < = a line that is in the compile that does not work If you need me to do any further testing to get more answeres let me know but this is all I could come up with.

i can't reproduce this at all, on current 1.5.4* or 1.5.5*. can you still reproduce this bug? please diff config.cache with 'diff -u' if this persists for you.

does 1.5.5* exhibit the bug for you as well? could you provide a testcase that says exactly where mutt crashes or fails to do what it should?
Yes I have the same problems with 1.5.5.1, ive been unable to find anyone else with this problem, but ive had it on multiple gentoo machines. I cant think of anything that could make it act this way between the gentoo way of installing it and a from scratch install. I even tried rolling my own ebuild to build it but that did not work either. I'm absolutely lost on this bug.
Since nobody else has this problem I'm closing WORKSFORME until you can debug far enough to provide a patch. :-( If it's any consolation, I've just added USE=vanilla support to the mutt-1.5.6 ebuild so you can easily install without any of the patches.
Well, as it turns out 1.5.6 without the vanilla use flag seems to be working fine. Although not sure if its a feature change or a bug or what but the alternates variable is no longer recognied by mutt.
