- standard compliance (if they care; if they don't you have another lecture
to give them ;)
- very accessible remotely on slow modem lines -- read your mail *anywhere*
without the insecurity of web based mail
- much faster (compare deleting 3000 messages in Mutt to 1 in Outlook: Mutt
is 'tag-pattern, pattern, delete tagged, zip zip done', Outlook is 'slowly
repaint the screen with spiffy animation')
- no stupid reply formatting
- it doesn't crash if you sneeze
- threaded display and thread collapsing
- configuration, configuration, configuration!
- if they are on mailing lists, the mailing list handling must be mentioned
- you can easily access all the headers and define your own
- OE requires you run Windows somewhere. Mutt requires you run Un*x
somewhere. Un*x > Windows.
