Key fixes include resolving OpenSSL 4 compilation failures, restoring Alt keybindings in the foot terminal, and addressing a theoretical IMAP buffer overflow.

Mutt remains a preferred choice for system administrators and power users due to its lightweight, keyboard-driven design and reliability

Mutt 2.4.1 Released: OpenSSL 4 Fixes, Alt Key Corrections, and Stability Patches

Mutt 2.4.1 is the latest stable release for the 30-year-old terminal-based email client, and it's focused on stability fixes rather than new features. Upstream maintainer Kevin J. McCarthy addressed OpenSSL 4 compilation failures, restored Alt keybindings in the foot terminal, patched an empty command line argument crash, and closed a theoretical IMAP buffer overflow. This patch release follows the 2.4.0 feature drop, which introduced explicit thread controls, a configurable draft directory, and RFC-compliant S/MIME type updates.
