Hello Mutt Users,

I'm pleased to announce the release of version 2.1.5.  Instructions for 
downloading are available at <http://www.mutt.org/download.html>, or the 
tarball can be directly downloaded from <http://ftp.mutt.org/pub/mutt/>. 
Please take the time to verify the signature file against my public 
key[1].

This is a bug-fix release.  Fixes include:

* a regression with SMTP authentication, where Mutt would force 
authentication when a server advertised AUTH.

* a possible SMTP server response overread, although I don't believe 
there is a security issue here.

* a SEGV bug on NetBSD when trying to use low level terminfo routines. 
Because of this fix, Mutt now looks for the term.h header before 
enabling these routines.  Packagers should ensure this header is present 
in the build dependencies.

* format=flowed text is space-unstuffed before piping to 
$send_multipart_alternative_filter

Thanks to everyone who filed tickets and helped me debug and test the 
fixes.  A special thanks to rahl for his triaging the NetBSD bug, for 
which I didn't have an instance handy to debug/test myself.

-Kevin
