- uses any editor you want (like any Unix mail client)
- has extensive hook mechanism (although choice of actions isn't)
- spawn subshells to do whatever
- tags messages without moving them to another folder/mailbox

Having said this, I saw one feature in TheBat that I'd like to see Mutt
have someday: the ability to create and use templates for new messages,
replies, forwarded messages, etc.
