Go ahead and call me crazy, then. For me, Mutt's handling of modern, every-day common e-mail messages is a feature. It strips away all of the distracting, intelligence-free clutter and lets me *read the message*. Compared to the competition, I find that use of Mutt is much more relaxing and pleasant. If I were condemned to use only one of those gooey-fied MUAs, I would be working on a plugin to configure-off all of the formatting, gather the attachments into a menu to be viewed or ignored as I choose, pop up an "are you sure?" dialog before following links, and generally make it more like Mutt. -- Mark H.
