Yes, but people don't.
Mutt not being #1 shouldn't be surprising, nor a discouragement. It's a
simple fact that people are satisfied with crap. Take a look at win95.
Also many of them wouldn't know how to use a non "impressing" view of
their mailbox. It's so much cooler to have messages fade and titles
bold/unbold in front of your eyes. Rich text email (in the form of HTML)
can be exchanged using Netscape/IE... the reasons are quite numerous
why the "normal" person would choose other then Mutt as their mail
client of choice.
I have used Mutt for more then a year now and I am plenty happy. (Our
proprietary mail software at Nortel [or rather, Bell Northern Research
as it was...], which I was MORE then happy with.... has been
discontinued for about 2 years now in favour of an Exchange based mail
system... sad in a way, but inevitable and not unexpected...)
