Same for me. I have used Netscape for the past 7 years almost exclusively, but have wanted to switch to something better for a long time. I tried Pine and literally could not stand it. I found VM to be way too heavy and clumsy. > I spent some time on the configuration, and it's _almost_ > perfect (though the perception of perfection tends to change > over time :o) ). It took me nearly a week to learn mutt, and build an initial configuration that I can be happy with. This is not all directly related to mutt, but also fetchmail, procmail, safecat, etc. Now, I can automatically send mails with different From: addresses depending upon which folder I am in when I compose the message, or the From: or To: address it was sent to. In my opinion, this is one of Mutt's strongest features. > Other than that, I'm _so happy_ that I can read my mail archives > from work/home, that I can even use email without X, and that > it starts faster than my previous mailer ... Thanks to mutt > developpers ! :o) I am so also happy that I now have a text based reader that is decent. One of the top things I am waiting for now is the S/MIME support, which I understand is now in CVS and coming to a release quite soon. -- Mike
