Yes, it will be fixed.

Hmm, is that critical?

I'm going to fix it today.

Yes, I'll add it to the repository by the end of this week.

Do you mean the changes to mh-pick-regexp-builder? These add
the command line options necessary to search for arbitrary
components. All implementations of pick have special options
-cc, -date, -from and -subject that allow to search for corresponding
components. Any other component is searched using option --COMPNAME,
for example: `pich --x-mailer mh-e'. Mailutils `pick' supports this
option using a certain kludge that I've described in one of my
previous postings, but it prefers the following syntax for this
purpose: `--component=COMPNAME --pattern=PATTERN'.

So, the changes in question allow you to specify any component in the
search-pattern buffer (along with the default five components it
presents). Then this component is searched using a command line syntax
proper for the current implementation of MH.

Sergey
