I am a mutt newbie.  It seems to me that configuration of mutt would be 
easier if:

* muttrc contains the entire set of mutt configuration variables (variables 
not applicable to the particular installation may be commented out, using #)

* the configuration variables are grouped in categories, such as the 
following (this list is incomplete):

     user interface
     message composition
     attachments
     file copy of messages
     message headers
     message display
     message transmission
     message printing
     mailboxes
     address qualification
     user personalities
     encryption & ssl
     message piping
     message scoring
     message signatures
     searching
     sorting
     MIME
     mixmaster
     POP
     IMAP
     MH
     aliases

* each variable would be accompanied by a brief comment regarding 
applicability and proper usage

Are there drawbacks to such a scheme?  Would anyone be interested in 
posting a copy of the commented configuration file?  Would this project 
have the blessing of the author of mutt?

I have begun categorizing the configuration variables.  I solicit comments 
and recommendations.
