Re: [OT] pine and Maildir (was: Maildir versus malibox)

[Mahlon Smith]

Just to stick in another random opinion:
I've been pretty pine die hard for almost 3 years now.
I tried out mutt about a month ago, and just couldn't make the switch.
Went back to pine and Mailbox, despite personally preferring Maildir.

Tried it again about 3 days ago due to peer pressure and disgust with 
Mailbox format - and something clicked.   I'd now recommend it to
anyone that wants MUA Maildir support, regardless whether or not they
are a pine fan.  It only took about an hour to make it do everything
I was used to in pine - and the stuff I couldn't reprogram my fingers
to do (x is for expunge, dammit!) I just re-binded.  Very slick.
And the pgp support... delicious.  :D

(Now if I could only figure out how to color code tagged messages...)

Give it a serious hour of your time.  You won't be disappointed.
