Copy the attached file (which someone else sent me independently,
within a day or so of your question) into the muttzilla-0.40 source
directory, and change this line in the Makefile:

MAILERLIBS = mutt pine dtmail VM tin

to:

MAILERLIBS = mutt pine dtmail VM tin pronto

Then run make, do the install, and set the following in your rc file
(either /etc/muttzilla.conf, or ~/.muttzillarc):

mailscript=mzmail.sh   # The attached file doesn't provide pronto
                       # support for the .py, just the .sh.
mailprog=pronto
mailargs=pronto

The rest of the installation instructions should be the same.  I use
redhat, which is closely related to mandrake, so the installation
itself should be relatively painless.

Good luck, and let us know if you run into any specific problems along
the way.
