Well, comparing mutt to emacs is not entirely wrong - both tools are
very powerful (which is just what I like about them). However, mutt is
*far* more lightweight than emacs (and than most GUI mailers) and the
basics are quite simple, IMO. It gets complex when you start fiddling
with the configuration, though you really have a *lot* of options then
to make mutt do exactly what you want. Oh, and the default editor is
vi(m), which mightn't be to everyone's liking (and canbe changed
easily, of course...) :-)
Cheerio,
