Hi Pietro,

it still saus: 
NeoMutt 20180716
Copyright (C) 1996-2016 Michael R. Elkins and others.
NeoMutt comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'neomutt -vv'.

in the head of the output of neomutt -v

Do I have to switch to any alternative branch?

Or whatelse did I wrong? Damn, am I too stupid to compile a source?
Sorry for being blind... :(

Cheers!
