Oh, NOW I'm REALLY intrigued.
I had decided to stay with mutt for now. One complaint I had with mutt
was that when I forwarded an email the attachment did not go with it.
I've solved that with a bit of variable tweaking. Also, I can now tag
multiple messages and forward them ALL in one email.
I still miss the GUI based list of folders and the ability to open
multiple emails at the same time. Also, I currently run fetchmail when
I start mutt (and stop it when I exit mutt). That's a real nice feature
because I can leave the email on my firewall/server and access it via
the web when I'm away. Then, when I get home I start mutt/fetchmail and
it POPs the email to the workstation.
I also VPN into the firewall and run mutt remotely if I want. Of
course, with VNC I can even run Thunderbird that way so my list of
objections to switching are reduced. Hummmmmm.
