So far so good... I do like the flexibility of some stuff much more
than with Pine... mutt is a lot more extensible, but it's just
getting used to the mutt way of doing things that's a bit of a
hurdle... =)

Yeah, I decided to go with the folder hooks... and big long
macros... =) Works pretty good tho... the problem I had was I just
set the folder-hook to change to the admin account and then it
stayed.. dOh! New global folder-hook for me... =)
Thanks muchly for all the tips.. it's really helped. Now I just have
a problem with the From header (I believe I posted another message
about that problem yesterday), and as soon as that's fixed, mutt is
ready for prime-time over here... =)
