Hi Jesse, sorry for the delay on this, I have been putting out fires
at motorola, and have just gotten time to sit down and rework these
patches. I have submitted a new set here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/aw675dhrbplkitj3szjut2vyidsxokogkjj3vi76wl2x4wybtg@5rhk5ca5zpmv/

And thank you for your comments. This new version should address them.

Was missing set record = /dev/null in my .muttrc, apologies!

Yes, the "F" for "this entry is invalid" is unintuitive. I decided to
rework this section of the docs altogether and just provide an exact
list of attributes for version 4.

Yes, I was a bit confused at this time, thinking the range specifications 
for tables should be the size of the table, rather than the size of the
region governed by the table. This is corrected in version 4 and the 
byte-sized specifier is no longer necessary.
