(And maybe learn a few new things in the process.) And a bonus: - Give thanks to Michael Elkins, Kevin McCarthy, and everyone else who produces & maintains great free (as in freedom) software like Mutt.

I think I'm pretty much eliminated by your premise, because my configuration is pretty minimal, but I'll chime in: just keep things simple. You can go crazy with hundreds of options and their combinations. Do something very minimal that works for you and then, if you find there's something else you'd need, start investigating how to do that.

Mutt configuration tips
Hi all, I've been using mutt for a bit now. I really like it, because it's vastly more efficient than the GUI MUA I was using before and so much more configurable; there are a LOT of options! It seems here lately I learn about a new one every day that I just happen to have a use for. I imagine there are a number of users who, like me, enjoy tinkering with and tweaking their setup, adjusting every detail to their liking.
