No worries. I had dropped the ball until today. :)

Let me use the opportunity to point you to the Debian patch tracker,
again: I nearly forgot to tell you I have collected a few more!

http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/mailutils/1:2.2+dfsg1-4

In particular, I just checked the current state of master, and it'd seem:

 - lber_ldadd.diff: needs to be considered. Fixes builds with
   binutils-gold.

 - ssl_key_permission_check.diff: needs to be discussed, see comments in
   the patch.

 - fix_FTBFS_with_format-security.diff: needs to be fixed, but needs
   adapting in the new codebase. I see some of the occurrences are now
   fixed, but apparently others are still affected.

 - refresh_mh_fmtgram.diff: this just fixes autogenerated code from
   mh/mh_fmtgram.y, so can be ignored.

 - gnutls_deprecated_set_priority.diff: this is a backport from Simon's
   fixes, so can be ignored.

 - sieve.scm_help_output.diff: _please_ apply this trivial one. The script
   has been renamed to sieve2scm, but it still applies. The cosmetic
   changes allow me to generate a somewhat useful manpage for Debian
   automagically using help2man.

 - mailutils.scm_variables.diff: we discussed that mailutils.scm had some
   problems with its path autogeneration. Apparently it hasn't changed in
   git. Any chance we can get this addressed with a real fix?

 - disable_am_gnu_radius.diff: regarding this one, I proposed addign
   radius.m4 to gnulib; was there any progress with that?

 - remove_MAXHOSTNAMELEN.diff: ignore; backport of your Hurd fixes. If
   only the Hurd was able get a build done...
   
(https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=mailutils&arch=hurd-i386&ver=1%3A2.2%2Bdfsg1-4&stamp=1317540926,
   will discuss with the Hurd maintainers when I have some time).

Thanks for considering. Let's see if I can build 3.0.0 without patches. :)
