Subject: 24.3.50; Rmail incompatibility with mailutils-2.99
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:39:30 +0100

Rmail determines the wrong value of rmail-movemail-variant-in-use when
working with GNU mailutils-2.99.

The output of "movemail --version" is something like:
movemail (GNU Mailutils) 2.99.98
...

To fix simply remove the space in the pattern with the following patch:
