% Howdy,

Hi!


%       I'm currently using pine, and would like to switch to mutt.  The

Welcome aboard!


% major stumbling block I'm hitting is finding a simple muttrc file to learn
% from.  I've seen the huge ones on mutt.org, but what I'm looking for is a
% 10 liner or something to get me started.  Can anybody point me in the
% right direction here?

Simon has pointed you to some muttrc-for-pine-folks, which will help you
keep your old PINE keystrokes in place.  Other than that, though (and
that not even necessary; why not learn some new keybindings for fun?),
you don't *have* to have a muttrc file.  The defaults are generally
sensible, and it's quite possible to run without any special settings.

There's also the system muttrc file, usually in /usr/local/etc/Muttrc or
perhaps /etc/Muttrc but always, assuming a full and healthy installation,
available at

  `mutt -v | grep SYSCONFDIR | awk -F\" '{print $2}'`/Muttrc

for mutt itself to find, for your perusal (just type "less" or "more"
or "vi" or "joe" or "xemacs" or whatever at your shell prompt -- without
the quotes, actually -- and then a space and then paste that line on and
hit return, and you'll be off and running) -- and *loaded* with comments.
