I agree mutt is powerful, I just don't want to use it.  And really,  
it's more the server-side technology:  You have to use local mboxes  
instead of remote IMAP mailboxes.  What we really need is an imap- 
based patch management solution.  But I don't think IMAP has much in  
the way of ordering, so I don't know if that would even suffice.
