Hi everyone, 

I am trying to send /receive emails from the console, so I went for (and
installed) mutt 1.2 and postfix.

I believe I configured postfix correctly, but now I haven't got *a clue*
on how to use mutt. And I did try to read the provided manual and the
man page for mutt, but they don't seem to cover the basics... can anyone
point me to some sort of tutorial which will teach me the very basics of
mutt? How can I, for example send an email? Is there any special
configuration necessary before doing so? I pressed "m" and then typed an
address, then a subject line, and then got an "message aborted" error
message... I thought that was due to the fact that I hadn't defined an
editor, so I declared (at the bash prompt)

VISUAL=emacs
EDITOR=emacs

but mutt still aborted after inputing the message's subject line. Any
tips?

Or should I try a simpler email client? Is the latest version of elm any
easier to use?

Thank you for your attention.

Best regards,

Manuel
