A challenging question?

Fri Jan 20 09:27:01 UTC 2017

shellworld.net doesn't need to have mutt unless you need output saved in 
your shellworld.net account.  When I go out to google, it's direct from 
my computer to their mail server and that's over a web only connection 
too.  mutt is a command line application so anyone wanting high graphics 
is going to be seriously disappointed.  It all comes down in text.

Only reason I made that offer is mutt takes time to study how to 
configure it and this would give you a leg up.  if your office computer 
is windows, mutt won't work.
