The question is: What is complex?
I have splited the muttrc in smaller logical files and coded a simpel
xdialog interface which can someone use to configure mutt basicly.
But where is the problem?
If you have a GUI, you must read, where to set options.
Same if you open your muttrc in your prefered editor.
So its only an excuise for braidamaged Windows-Users.
AND, -- how often do you change your setings?
I have changed my muttrc the last time for 2 or three years.
Only added some lists to my "subscribe" include

Where is the different between "r", "L" and "g" and the mouse?
I read and write my Messages with my hands and these are laying
on my Keyboard. If there are no Keybindings I need a Mouse, for
which I must leave my Keyboard... This is non-productiv!

What do you want to learn?
I was switchin in 03/1999 from WfW3.11/NT4.0 to Debian entirely,
one day to another after someone borke into my appartement and
had stolen my whole M$ Software for more then 80.000 US$.
Becasue M$ wont replace and I had no money, I had to switch to
GNU/Linux. Now I am since 7 years M$-Free!
Oh the MUA... It was Eudora Lite/Pro and the I have use mutt.
the defaults are allready suitable for working under Debian.

Do they need such stuff? What "arbitrary headers" should the set?
I do not knoe one, which must be set, to post/reply correctly to
Mailinglists.
