Well maybe... I'll admit to having glanced only briefly at mutt. I
didn't try to actually set it up, just glanced at it's interface. And
quickly decided that IF I stopped using pine, I'd think about it...
Which is more than I can say for ANY of the gui mailers...
I've been using pine on various systems for so long now that I'd have a
hard time adjusting. Heck even though I don't LIKE to go there much, I
even put pcpine in my windows partition just so that I could have nearly
the same interface everyplace.
But mutt does seam to have a following... Tell me, how well does mutt do at
having multiple inbox folders???? [I have 3 remote pop, 1 remote imap,
& my local spool inbox. plus several ~/mail/folders]
