Is this stuff OK? We're now freezing the wishlist and going to start on
the actual howtos now.

Hardly an advanced trick - just a few command line options plugged together...
But point noted.

OK - Will do. BTW, I haven't ever used PGP with mutt. ;-)

It doesn't compile all that well, especially the devel trees. I think the
prepare scripts sometimes works better that configure. And applying patches is
a pain...
BTW, what about a little comparison of mutt with other console mail clients?
Pine, elm etc.? Maybe mh? One of the major reason for pine's popularity is its
ease of use.
Maybe we should get someone else to write about debian systems.
A proposed TOC is:
1. What is mutt
2. How does it compare with other MUAs?
3. Getting, compiling and installing mutt
4. Starting mutt up and basic navigation through mailboxes
5. Command line options.
6. Config file options.
7. Advanced stuff - GPG/POP/IMAP/Macros/Bindings/Multiple mail accounts
8. Troubleshooting
9. Web resources
10. Cute mutt tips and tricks.
Some of the stuff is already there on www.mutt.org. Mutt-users archives are
going to be a great source of info.
The default manual.txt is not very elaborate, and at places, can be quite
intimidating. That is what we should overcome.

A program that changes its name and pid every second.
