Gary,

Do you use the g-b-s for mutt?  If so, would you care to submit the
changes that factor out config variables *you* needed?  If possible,
please leave the default, rather than mutt-specific, values in the patch,
but I'd rather tweak the patch to restore the default values than have no
patch at all.
