Just do: $ rm `which elm` $ ln -s `which pine` /bin/false ;-) I wouldn't replace it. I would let the users choose their MUA. > This will only be possible, if it is "convenient" to > switch to mutt. It is. There's a system-wide config file. Without a ~/.muttrc it works just fine. All settings you find usefull just go in there (/etc/Muttrc, or whatever, depending on the OS). > Thus, the biggest show-stopper I can find right now that > mutt does not seem to have an "option" menu that allows > users to modify the default settings to their liking. The problem with an option menu is that mutt has kind of static and dynamic configuration. Static can be easily done by just presenting editing fields for variables. But what to do with the dynamic part (all the hooks, for example)? > Thus, the question is: has anybody expanded mutt to > include something like an option menu that can be called > from within mutt? Not that I know. bye, Rocco
