[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify mailutils-3.9.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3602B07F55D0C732

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

Noteworthy changes in this release:

* dotmail: fix mailbox opening in append-only mode

* Fix mda testsuite

The tests don't depend on the selected default mailbox format.

* New options to configure:

    --disable-build-mda     do not build mda
    --disable-build-lmtpd   do not build lmtpd
    --disable-build-putmail do not build putmail

* Remove deprecated functions and ioctls

Several deprecated functions have been removed.  Refer to the NEWS

* mail: fix composing MIME messages

- Make sure message body has inline disposition (fixes bug #54992).
- When building the "filename" parameter of the Content-Disposition
  header, and the "name" parameter of the Content-Type header, strip
  directory components off the original file name (fixes bug #57431).

* Fix build on FreeBSD

* Fix detection of Kerberos libraries

* Fix build with Python 3.8 (bug #57318)
