Mutt certainly requires you to discover slightly different ways of working, although I find that I like those ways better than what I used to do with a gui mail client. > I still miss the GUI based list of folders and the ability to open > multiple emails at the same time. You can have multiple mutts running, each in its own xterm. Running two mutts on the same mbox file might ask for problems, although mutt now handles it well as long as both sessions save before the other modifies. I do this between home and work, where I have mutt running in both, I just make sure I save before leaving. (Saving is good practice anyway.) When I'm concerned, I switch to read-only mode, either "%" in mutt or "mutt -R" at invocation time. > I also VPN into the firewall and run mutt remotely if I want.

Some also combine this with screen to have their one-true-session-in-the-sky. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> +1 215/837-2287 GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:
