I used mutt for a year or so (a decade ago), but configuring it always required a huge amount of reading, editing text files, cursing, and rinse and repeat.
I don't understand that. Mutt's config is basically "set it an forget it". I have to add/delete entries whenever I subscribe/unsubscribe to mailing lists, but that's it. Years ago, I used to read email on a true text console. Then the linux devs screwed that possibility with video drivers that take over the text console too. On a 1920x1080 monitor, even Sun 12x22 fonts are on the small side. I still use mutt in an xterm, along with mc. I've even cobbled together a cute script that allows me to launch HDHomerun TV from the commandline. -- Walter Dnes <waltdnes@waltdnes.org>
