In addition to step-by-step HOWTOs and configuration guides, there are numerous ".muttrc" files posted on the web. The comments in these .muttrc files can be very helpful, even if the system differs from the system which you are configuring. By inspecting .muttrc files, you can see examples of how the various Mutt commands and configuration variables actually are used. This sometimes is of more benefit than than reading the manual. RLH
