[nixpkgs-19.09]: neomutt: 20180716 -> 2019-10-25 #85434

I propose to backport this patch to stable, reason see below.

This does not build yet on my machine because two unit-tests fail. I am about to investigate.


Backported to stable to fix:

https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt/issues/1373

which includes the following patch:

https://github.com/Austin-Ray/neomutt/commit/46eb0a5f275041fc92c2772afd0fd812bae891bd

but the patch itself does not apply cleanly to 20180716, thus we need to
update neomutt.

https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt/releases/tag/2019-10-25
(cherry picked from commit b83908f)

I guess this is highly controversial. Thus I wouldn't be offended at all if this gets rejected.

In this case I just take neomutt from unstable. 😄

LGTM. I didn't backport back then since I was too afraid of breaking too much stuff for other neomutt-users, but if this fixes problematic issues, I'm fine with backporting (I'm usually using neomutt from nixpkgs-unstable).

Well, I don't know if this breaks other things. As there are no stable releases of neomutt, is think so... Thankfully it is not up to me to decide this.

I'm afraid of unexpectedly breaking users of the stable release channel by just bumping the version.

Ran myself into an issue where I didn't see the virtual folders anymore until I had migrated to the named-mailboxes syntax.

I didn't bisect if this specific issue is caused somewhere between these two versions or elesewhere, but it's a general problem as neomutt has no stable releases.
Users can expect some breakage here when upgrading to a new NixOS release, but I don't really want to break during a stable cycle.

I'd be fine with a backport of the specific commit, but given it's nontrivial, and 20.03 is around the corner (with a version more recent than 2019-10-25), I'd propose just using neomutt from unstable/20.03 in the meantime.
