Well, I'm just starting to use Gnus, so I cannot answer this. Yes, mutt can do most of the things about mail, but I believe there must be something it can't do, or can't do easily. Invoking external scripts is the solution, but it's hard to write, since they're not integrated to mutt. Now I'm trying Gnus, and if I still failed it, I will probably get back to mutt.
