     5585Mutt supports several of optional features which can be enabled or 
     5586disabled at compile-time by giving the <literal>configure</literal> script 
     5587certain arguments. These are listed in the ``Optional features'' section of 
     5588the <literal>configure --help</literal> output.

     5591<para> 
     5592Which features are enabled or disabled can later be determined from the 
     5593output of <literal>mutt -v</literal>. If a compile option starts with 
     5594``+'' it is enabled and disabled if prefixed with ``-''. For example, if 
     5595mutt was compiled using GnuTLS for encrypted communication instead of 
     5596OpenSSL, <literal>mutt -v</literal> would contain:
