[Chris J Arges]

Hello Seth, or anyone else affected,

Accepted mutt into vivid-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutt/1.5.23-3ubuntu1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  Terrible performance for ~b/~B searching

Status in mutt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in mutt source package in Vivid:
  Fix Committed
Status in mutt source package in Wily:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ================================================
  SRU Justification
  1. Impact: performance regression in ~b/~B searching
  2. Upstream fix: a patch was accepted reorganizing that code path
  3. Stable fix: same as upstream fix
  4. Test case:
     XXX fill me in XXX
  5. Regression potential:  This has been in use upstream for awhile with
  no reported regressions.
  ================================================

  There's been a major performance regression in mutt for all releases
  since Trusty for ~b/~B searching. I use this for highlighting messages
  in my mailboxes, and this regression makes mutt nearly unusable.
  There's a fix upstream for this:

  http://dev.mutt.org/hg/mutt/rev/755a18da99bc

  Attaching a patch which I've tested against the version of mutt in
  Ubuntu.
