Mutt is really good (I'm using it right now (or rather I'm using Vim in Mutt right now)). On the other hand it has a quite large learning curve. You really have to get into heavy conf-file editing to unleash its full power. This is by the way the only one of these three that handles PGP in an RFC-compliant way. Pine works and has simple configuration, and a simple build-in editor (pico), but has some misfeatures, such as non(but almost)-standard mailboxes and not being free software. Some people might also like the build-in newsreader. Gnus is a story by itself. It's really a newsreader, that can read mail by some tweaking. I guess the harm is already done if you're using emacs, though. (But you can of course use emacs with both Pine and Mutt, if you want to). -- Bj�rn K. H.
