mutt doesn't support header_cache directive

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

The default mutt port doesn't support the header_cache configuration option. The following error is reported.

Error in /Users/gbergling/.muttrc, line 31: header_cache: unknown variable

mutt itself was compiled with -USE_HCACHE. It would be great if that option could be enabled on the port since is noticeably speeds up the start of mutt, with a lot mails in the opening mailbox, and accessing other folders with a lot of mails too.

If you install mutt with one of the three cache database variants, e.g. port install mutt +gdbm, you can enable header cache.

It was not added to default_variants because I don't know which one to use as default.

@l2dy, thanks that worked like a charm. Maybe this could be activated per default, I would think that the typical user of mutt doesn't care what cache database is in use.

mutt: update to 2.2.13 and set +gdbm by default

I cared and disabled Tokyo Cabinet, Kyoto Cabinet, and QDBM for this port, but I guess the average user does not.

+gdbm has been added to the default. Thanks!
