Your post are a bit difficult to read. It will help if you separated your text (in plain) from code and output (in code tags) plus some paragraphing/indenting.
Anyhow, I wouldn't have expected grep jack to show anything on your system as the probability you have a user jack is low. Try grep nancy.

BUGS
None. Mutts have fleas, not bugs. FLEAS
Suspend/resume while editing a file with an external editor does not work under SunOS 4.x if you use the curses lib in /usr/5lib. It does work with the S-Lang library, however. Resizing the screen while using an external pager causes Mutt to go haywire on some systems. suspend/resume does not work under Ultrix. The help line for the index menu is not updated if you change the bindings for one of the functions listed while Mutt is running.
