Mutt has some shitty defaults, so you need a decent configuration and
a little while to get used to it, but after a while it works nicely.

If anyone wants my config, which has got all sorts of clever things
Aaron worked out, let me know.  You can do nice things like
automatically displaying word documents or HTML inline by piping
through catdoc or lynx, and colour coding messages from different
places.  Neato.
