Besides, I hate managing windows. I don't want a bunch of terms running
mutt just so I can see more than one email at a time. Just one window
should do, thank you.
I don't dislike mutt. It's ok, and it gets the job done. I just don't
think it's the holy grail of email readers, as many seem to believe. I
can't help but think it's overrated.

e! I switched from mutt to gnus. It's IMAP support was too weak
for me, and I didn't like the single window nature of it (you can't
compose a message and read other mail at the same time). Mutt's ok. It
does the important things right, but otherwise is rather mediocre.

That doesn't sound right. The disk is a very dangerous group for a
