Marco,

Please add the following patches to mutt:

* For CVE-2014-9116 (see 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1168463 for details):

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mutt.git/plain/mutt-1.5.23-sendlib.patch

* All programs should use the system ca-certificates instead of bundling 
their own (which are usually old, or become so quickly):

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mutt.git/plain/mutt-1.5.21-cabundle.patch

While you are at it:

* Any reason not to configure with --enable-smtp?

* I just added gpgme to the distro.  This can be used in mutt by 
installing libgpgme-devel and adding --enable-gpgme to the configure flags.

* Kerberos and SASL support can also be enabled by installing 
libkrb5-devel and libsasl2-devel, and adding --enable-gss --enable-sasl 
to the configure flags.
