[gentoo-user] Mutt Use Flag Advice

[Steven G Wagner]

I've never used Mutt before and I'd like to try it. I'm running kernel
2.6.16-hardened-r11 and I was wondering what use flags I should set when
emerging Mutt. I ran emerge -pv mutt and it looked like some of the disabled
items should be enabled, like -pop and -gpgme. Maybe support for these
things are enabled another way, but I would like to use mutt with gpg and
pull mail off the cox server. 

Can anyone please help me decide which use flags I should enable before
emerging mutt? I've been doing some reading on the subject, but I'm not very
familiar with configuring mua's so I'm a little confused as to what flags
should be enabled and which are better left alone until I grok this better.
I'm not adverse to simply leaving as is and compiling with the default
flags, but I would like to keep this system as stable and hardened as
possible so any advise would be really appreciated. 

Thanks a lot,

Steven

A wise decision (smile): I've been using it since c 1998
& have never had any reason to consider anything else.

Here's what I seem to use :

  root: root> emerge -pv mutt ...
    mail-client/mutt-1.5.11-r2 [1.5.13-r1]
    USE="-berkdb -buffysize -cjk crypt -debug gdbm gnutls -gpgme -idn -imap
         -mbox -nls -nntp pop -sasl -smime ssl -vanilla"
