Most such users don't care - we make /usr/local/bin/mutt (and the system default) be the most capable least buggy mutt installed. And lo, they are happy.

With small shell script wrappers, yes I can, usually. | can you do this this for each program and manual? Only the few where we really keep several versions around. Historically that's been mutt, mozilla, netscape (so we can upgrade and test _before_ switching the default). -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ Computer manufacturers have been failing to deliver working systems on time and to budget since Babbage. - Jack Schofield, in The Guardian
