Oh, this is the error message that I get from mutt:
Error in /home/eric/.muttrc, line 24: alternates: unknown variable
source: errors in /home/eric/.muttrc
Press any key to continue...
There are no later SuSE RPMs at rpmfind.net. :-(
Looks like I might go the source route.. but I hate that it's now out
of sync in the rpm system. Sigh.
